TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Adobe fixed CVE-2026-90530, a path traversal flaw in ColdFusion RDS that could allow arbitrary file reads. Adobe rates it 9.3 (critical); NVD has not scored it yet. ColdFusion 2025.0.13 and 2023.0.25 and earlier are affected, and the Production Secure Profile disables RDS.

Adobe has fixed a critical path traversal vulnerability in ColdFusion 2025 and ColdFusion 2023, tracked as CVE-2026-90530 and published in security bulletin APSB26-144 on October 13.

Adobe rates the flaw 9.3 (critical). The score comes from Adobe, the CVE numbering authority, under CVSS 3.1. Adobe's vector lists a local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges and no user interaction, with changed scope. NVD has received the record but has not yet published its own score.
The vulnerability stems from improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory in ColdFusion RDS.

The bug sits in ColdFusion RDS. Adobe describes it as an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory in Remote Development Services that could lead to arbitrary file system reads, letting an attacker access sensitive files and directories outside the intended scope.

Affected and fixed versions. ColdFusion 2025 Update 13 (2025.0.13) and earlier and ColdFusion 2023 Update 25 (2023.0.25) and earlier are affected. The CVE record lists 2025.0.14 and 2023.0.26 as unaffected.
Exploitation requires no user interaction.
RDS is meant for development only. Adobe says RDS is a debugging feature, and switching ColdFusion to the Production Secure Profile disables it automatically. For servers not running that profile, Adobe's ColdFusion Lockdown Guide lists the steps to turn RDS off.
