CVE-2026-48318 is a path traversal vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion caused by improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory. The flaw affects Adobe ColdFusion 2025 versions 0 through 10 and Adobe ColdFusion 2023 versions 0 through 21. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to traverse outside the intended directory scope and read files and directories from the underlying file system that should not be accessible. Adobe classifies the issue as CWE-22 and states that exploitation does not require user interaction.
