Path Traversal in Adobe ColdFusion

IdentifiersCVE-2026-47932CWE-22· Improper Limitation of a Pathname…

CVE-2026-47932 is a path traversal vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion affecting versions 2023.19, 2025.8, and earlier. The issue is caused by improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, allowing crafted path input to escape intended directory restrictions. Adobe states that successful exploitation can result in a security feature bypass and unauthorized access to files or directories outside the intended restricted location. Exploitation requires user interaction: a victim must open a malicious file. The CVE record indicates changed scope.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to bypass intended security restrictions and access unauthorized files or directories outside the expected directory boundary. Based on the provided CVSS vector and vendor description, impact may extend to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with scope changed, although the specific affected files or downstream effects are not described in the provided content.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

No vendor workaround is provided in the supplied content beyond applying the product update. Until patched, reduce exposure by preventing users from opening untrusted or unsolicited files and enforcing controls around file handling from untrusted sources.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply Adobe's fix referenced in advisory APSB26-64 by upgrading ColdFusion to a version newer than 2023.19 and 2025.8. The affected versions are 2023.19, 2025.8, and earlier.
