CVE-2025-24446 is an improper input validation vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion affecting versions 2023 Update 12 and earlier, 2021 Update 18 and earlier, and 2025.0 and earlier. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied input within ColdFusion, allowing a remote authenticated attacker with administrative panel privileges to access arbitrary files on the underlying file system. Adobe characterizes the issue as having changed scope, indicating that exploitation can cross a security boundary and impact resources beyond the vulnerable component’s intended authorization context. Although one description references arbitrary code execution, the supporting details consistently characterize the issue as arbitrary file system read caused by improper input validation.
