## What is CVE-2025-34074?

CVE-2025-34074 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Lucee, published on 2 Jul 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An authenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in Lucee’s administrative interface due to insecure design in the scheduled task functionality. An administrator with access to /lucee/admin/web.cfm can configure a scheduled job to retrieve a remote .cfm file from an attacker-controlled server, which is written to the Lucee webroot and executed with the privileges of the Lucee service account. Because Lucee does not enforce integrity checks, path restrictions, or execution controls for scheduled task fetches, this feature can be abused to achieve arbitrary code execution. This issue is distinct from CVE-2024-55354.

Weakness: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), CWE-829 (Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2025-34074 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-34074 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Lucee, published on 2 Jul 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-34074 exists.

Affected product: Lucee. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
