Security Advisory for ColdFusion

Release date: May 8, 2013

Vulnerability identifier: APSA13-03

Priority: 1

CVE number: CVE-2013-3336

Platform: All

Summary

Adobe has identified a critical vulnerability affecting ColdFusion 10, 9.0.2, 
9.0.1 and 9.0 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX. This 
vulnerability (CVE-2013-3336) could permit an unauthorized user to remotely 
retrieve files stored on the server.

There are reports that an exploit for this vulnerability is publicly available.  
ColdFusion customers who have restricted public access to the 
CFIDE/administrator, CFIDE/adminapi and CFIDE/gettingstarted directories 
(as outlined in the ColdFusion 9 Lockdown Guide and ColdFusion 10 Lockdown 
Guide) are already mitigated against this issue.  Customers who have not 
already applied these steps can protect themselves from CVE-2013-3336 by 
implementing the following configuration settings:

    Restrict public access to the CFIDE/administrator, CFIDE/adminapi and 
    CFIDE/gettingstarted directories by following the hardening guidance in 
    the ColdFusion 9 Lockdown Guide and ColdFusion 10 Lockdown Guide

We are in the process of finalizing a fix for this issue and expect a hotfix 
for ColdFusion 10, 9.0.2, 9.0.1 and 9.0 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX to be 
available on May 14, 2013.

Affected software versions

ColdFusion 10, 9.0.2, 9.0.1 and 9.0 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX

Mitigations

Adobe recommends ColdFusion customers take the following steps to mitigate
