CVE-2025-61823
Status: AnalyzedMedium (6.2)—
ColdFusion versions 2025.4, 2023.16, 2021.22 and earlier are affected by an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE') vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read. A high privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files and data on the server. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction and scope is changed.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 6.2
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.49%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 40
- Score date: 10/4/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
