CVE-2025-61809 is a critical improper input validation vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion affecting versions 2025.4, 2023.16, 2021.22, and earlier. The flaw allows crafted input to bypass intended security controls, resulting in a security feature bypass that can lead to unauthorized read and write access within the application’s existing security scope. The available advisory information does not identify a specific vulnerable function or code path, but Adobe classifies the issue as an input validation weakness that is remotely exploitable and does not require user interaction.
