Adobe patches critical ColdFusion and Campaign Classic flaws

(3 months ago) · 2 min read · By Future Technology · Edited by Nath Connell

Adobe released patches this week for multiple maximum severity security flaws affecting Adobe ColdFusion and Adobe Campaign Classic. Neither product made headlines the way a browser zero day would, which is exactly why they are worth flagging: ColdFusion in particular still runs a surprising number of enterprise backend systems that nobody thinks about until something goes wrong.

Why this one matters

ColdFusion has a long history of being an attacker favourite precisely because organisations forget it is still running. If your business has a ColdFusion application anywhere in its stack, and plenty do without realising it, this patch round deserves the same urgency as a flashier vulnerability.

What to do

Check Adobe's security bulletin for the specific versions affected and patch on the normal enterprise change-control timeline, but do not let this slip to next quarter's list. Maximum severity ratings exist for a reason.
