ColdFusion 4.5 and 5, when running on Windows with the advanced security sandbox type set to "operating system," does not properly pass security context to (1) child processes created with <CFEXECUTE> and (2) child processes that call the CreateProcess function and are executed with <CFOBJECT> or end with the CFX extension, which allows attackers to execute programs with the permissions of the System account.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy ColdFusion 4.5 and 5 on Windows when a specific advanced security sandbox mode is used. In that configuration, child processes may run with System privileges instead of the intended restricted context, creating a serious privilege escalation risk on affected servers. Exposure is likely limited to legacy ColdFusion 4.5 or 5 Windows servers using the affected advanced security sandbox configuration. The source bundle does not identify modern versions, cloud services, or non-Windows platforms as affected. Treat this as a legacy platform risk with high potential impact if present. Prioritize discovery and retirement or isolation of affected ColdFusion servers, especially internet-facing or business-critical systems. Mitigation focus: Check Macromedia or successor vendor guidance for the named advisory.; Inventory ColdFusion 4.5 and 5 Windows servers.; Retire or isolate unsupported ColdFusion 4.5 and 5 deployments..
