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 ColdFusion 2025 prior to Update 11 and ColdFusion 2023 prior to Update 22. A remote attacker can exploit the issue to access files and directories outside the intended restricted path, resulting in arbitrary file system read. The vulnerability does not require user interaction. Available reporting also notes scope change and a CVSS v3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H.
