Secunia

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe ColdFusion and JRun, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, disclose sensitive information, or potentially compromise a vulnerable system, and by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions or disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed via the URL to CFIDE/wizards/common/_logintowizard.cfm, CFIDE/wizards/common/_authenticatewizarduser.cfm, and CFIDE/administrator/enter.cfm, and to the "startRow" parameter in CFIDE/administrator/logviewer/searchlog.cfm is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected ColdFusion site.

2) Certain unspecified input passed to ColdFusion is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

3) Input passed via the "logfile" parameter to the logging/logviewer.jsp script of the JRun management console is not properly sanitised before being used to read files. This can be exploited to read arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

4) Certain unspecified input passed to the JRun management console is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

5) An unspecified error in ColdFusion related to a double-encoded NULL character can be exploited to disclose sensitive information.

6) A session fixation vulnerability in ColdFusion can be exploited to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

7) Certain unspecified input passed to ColdFusion is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in ColdFusion versions 8.0.1 and prior, and JRun version 4.0.
