Deeper analysis
ColdFusion versions 2023u7, 2021u13 and earlier are affected by CVE-2024-34112, an Improper Access Control vulnerability that permits arbitrary file system reads. The flaw is tracked under CWE-284 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5, reflecting network attack vectors that require no authentication or user interaction.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue to read arbitrary files on the server, thereby obtaining unauthorized access to sensitive data. Exploitation does not require user interaction, enabling direct requests that bypass intended access controls.
The official Adobe security bulletin at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb24-41.html details available patches and mitigation steps for the affected ColdFusion releases. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1122 with no observed rise since disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
The access control policy and procedures directly mandate and enforce proper access control mechanisms across the organization.
Device lock enforces restricted access until re-authentication, directly reducing unauthorized use of active sessions.
Supervision and review of access control activities directly detects and remediates improper access configurations or usages.
Explicitly identifying and documenting actions permitted without identification or authentication enforces proper access control boundaries by defining justified exceptions.
By automatically labeling outputs with security attributes, the control supports attribute-based enforcement and reduces exploitability of improper access control weaknesses.
Associating and retaining security attributes with data directly supports enforcement of access control decisions across storage, processing, and transmission.
Requiring prior authorization for each remote access type prevents improper access control over remote connections.
Requiring authorization of wireless access before allowing connections enforces proper access control for this access method.
