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 versions prior to Update 11 and ColdFusion 2023 versions prior to Update 22. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying file system and access sensitive files or directories outside the intended access scope. The issue does not require user interaction, and the available vulnerability metadata indicates scope change. Public reporting consistently characterizes the primary impact as arbitrary file system read; some secondary reporting associates the flaw with broader downstream compromise potential because disclosure of sensitive ColdFusion configuration material may facilitate further attacks.
