Title: Adobe ColdFusion Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Adobe ColdFusion is an application server and software-development framework used for creating dynamic web-based content.
Adobe ColdFusion is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability.
Specifically, this issue is triggered by issuing requests containing double-encoded NULL bytes in URIs with an extension configured to be handled by ColdFusion. IIS decodes the URI once, and decides that the request should be handled by ColdFusion. ColdFusion then decodes the URI again, and the resulting NULL byte truncates the URI to eliminate the extraneous extension. The resulting filename that ColdFusion sees is not a filename that it can interpret, so it is directly returned to the attacker.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to gain access to the contents of arbitrary files that are not interpreted by ColdFusion. This includes the source of scripting files not handled by ColdFusion, configuration files, log files, and other data files. Information harvested may aid them in further attacks.
Adobe ColdFusion MX7, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 are vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- Adobe ColdFusion MX 7.00
- Adobe ColdFusion MX 7.01
- Adobe ColdFusion MX 7.02
