Vulnerability Data

ColdFusion versions 2025.1, 2023.13, 2021.19 and earlier are affected by a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that could lead to limited file system read. A high-privilege authenticated attacker can force the application to make arbitrary requests via injection of arbitrary…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Enforces policy-based restrictions on information flows, directly blocking the server from initiating arbitrary outbound requests to attacker-supplied URLs.

prevent

Requires validation and sanitization of all URL inputs before use in server-side requests, preventing the injection that enables SSRF.

prevent

Restricts the set of permitted actions for high-privilege accounts, limiting the ability to trigger server-side URL requests even when authenticated.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Network segmentation and egress controls can limit the damage from successful SSRF requests.

prevents

Operational threat data describing SSRF campaigns can be used to tighten outbound-request allow-lists and detection rules before attackers exploit them.
