Adobe Urges Quick Installation of ColdFusion Security Updates
By Netvora Tech News
Adobe has once again urged customers using ColdFusion to install security updates as soon as possible, providing a 72-hour window as an example. This is the second such request from the software company in recent months. The latest ColdFusion patches address multiple critical vulnerabilities that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, elevated privileges, and unauthorized access to directories and files.
Critical Vulnerabilities Exploited in the Past
ColdFusion, a platform for developing web applications, has historically been targeted by attackers. In the past, vulnerabilities in ColdFusion have been exploited to launch attacks on ColdFusion application servers, including ransomware attacks, as revealed by the FBI earlier this year.
Eight Patches Released, Seven Critical
Adobe has released eight patches, seven of which have been rated as critical. While the company is unaware of any active exploitation of these vulnerabilities, it notes that they do pose a higher risk of being exploited.
