CVE-2015-0345 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion 10 (prior to Update 16) and 11 (prior to Update 5). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, potentially leading to the execution of malicious scripts in the context of the affected user.

This repository contains two JavaScript-based proof-of-concept exploits targeting Adobe ColdFusion 10.x and 11.x installations vulnerable to CVE-2015-0345 (XSS leading to RCE). The structure includes two main payloads (each with minified and full versions) and a detailed README. Payload 1 disables the admin password by sending crafted requests to the ColdFusion admin interface, allowing unauthenticated access if executed by an authenticated admin. Payload 2 leverages the scheduler and error template settings to upload a CFM web shell (fetched from a remote GitHub URL) and sets it as the handler for 404 and 500 errors, providing persistent remote code execution. Both payloads require the attacker to execute JavaScript in the context of an authenticated ColdFusion admin (e.g., via XSS). The repository is a functional exploit (not just a detection script) and provides operational-level exploitation capabilities for the targeted ColdFusion versions.
