CVE-2023-29298 is an improper access control vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion that affects ColdFusion 2018 Update 16 and earlier, 2021 Update 6 and earlier, and 2023.0.0.330468 and earlier. The flaw allows external attackers to bypass access restrictions protecting ColdFusion administrative CFM and CFC endpoints, including ColdFusion Administrator-related paths that are normally not reachable from untrusted networks. Available reporting indicates the issue is triggered through URL path manipulation, including malformed path variants that can defeat the product’s validation logic and expose restricted administration functionality. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and has been described as enabling unauthorized access to protected ColdFusion administration resources. It has also been observed as a useful precursor for chaining with other ColdFusion vulnerabilities, particularly to expand pre-authentication attack surface and facilitate follow-on exploitation.
