An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38420 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Coldfusion. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38420/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38420/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38420","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38420/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38420","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gmgx-cj5g-7v52"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe ColdFusion","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can use hard-coded credentials to start or stop arbitrary services, causing application denial-of-service in Adobe ColdFusion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"coldfusion","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Adobe ColdFusion versions Update 14 (and earlier) and Update 4 (and earlier) are affected by a Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability that could result in application denial-of-service by gaining access to start/stop arbitrary services.
