Adobe ColdFusion Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read

Disclosed
N/A

Description

This module exploits a remote unauthenticated deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Adobe
ColdFusion 2021 Update 5 and earlier as well as ColdFusion 2018 Update 15 and earlier, in order to read
an arbitrary file from the server.

To run this module you must provide a valid ColdFusion Component (CFC) endpoint via the CFC_ENDPOINT option,
and a valid remote method name from that endpoint via the CFC_METHOD option. By default an endpoint in the
ColdFusion Administrator (CFIDE) is provided. If the CFIDE is not accessible you will need to choose a
different CFC endpoint, method and parameters.
