CVE-2025-49537 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion affecting versions 2025.2, 2023.14, 2021.20, and earlier. The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in operating system commands, allowing attacker-controlled input to influence command execution. The issue is described as affecting a component restricted to internal IP addresses. Available reporting is inconsistent on the exact post-exploitation outcome, with some descriptions stating arbitrary code execution and others stating arbitrary file system read. In either case, the vulnerability represents unsafe command handling in ColdFusion that can be abused by a high-privileged authenticated attacker.
