Adobe Coldfusion - Remote Code Execution (CVE-2018-15961)

Adobe Coldfusion is affected by Remote Code Execution vulnerability. This vulnerability is affecting the CKEditor component because the upload.cfm is reachable without any authentication. The attacker can upload and execute Java Server Pages (JSP) files through the filemanager plugin. Uploading a webshell, the attacker can successfully achieve Remote Code Execution on the server.

Sniper can gain unauthenticated Remote Code Execution on the target system and extract multiple artefacts as evidence.

The risk exists that a remote unauthenticated attacker can fully compromise the server in order to steal confidential information, install ransomware, or pivot to the internal network.

Upgrade Adobe Coldfusion to the latest version.
