CVE-2025-30284
Remediation / Mitigation Strategy for CVE-2025-30284
Vulnerability Description: Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability exists in Adobe ColdFusion versions 2023.12, 2021.18, 2025.0 and earlier.
Severity: 8.0 (High)
Known Exploit: Exploitation requires user interaction. A victim must open a malicious file leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
Remediation:
- Apply Patch: Immediately upgrade to a patched version of Adobe ColdFusion. Refer to Adobe’s security bulletin for the specific patched version number.
- Disable Deserialization (if possible): Investigate if deserialization functionality can be disabled or restricted within the ColdFusion environment if it’s not essential for operations.
Mitigation:
- User Education: Educate users about the risks of opening files from untrusted sources. Emphasize the importance of verifying the sender and file origin before opening any attachments or downloading files.
- Email Security: Implement robust email security measures, including spam filtering and malware detection, to identify and block potentially malicious emails containing weaponized files.
- Endpoint Protection: Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions with behavioral analysis capabilities to detect and prevent suspicious activity resulting from successful exploitation.
- Network Segmentation: Segment the network to limit the impact of a successful exploit. Restrict access to sensitive systems from compromised hosts.
- Monitor for Suspicious Activity: Implement robust monitoring and logging to detect suspicious activity, such as unexpected process execution or network connections. Alerting should be configured for potential indicators of compromise.
- Least Privilege: Ensure ColdFusion is running with the least privileges necessary to perform its function. Limit the potential damage from arbitrary code execution.
- File Type Restriction: Limit the types of files that ColdFusion processes or accepts as input. Restrict to only necessary file types.
