CVE-2010-0185
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe default configuration of Adobe ColdFusion 9.0 does not restrict access to collections that have been created by the Solr Service, which allows remote attackers to obtain collection metadata, search information, and index data via a request to an unspecified URL.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify ColdFusion versionCheck the ColdFusion installation to confirm it is version 9.0. This can be done via the ColdFusion Administrator interface or by inspecting version files in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is Adobe ColdFusion 9.0
-
Identify if Solr service is configuredLocate and examine the Solr configuration within the ColdFusion 9.0 installation. Solr is typically installed as part of ColdFusion and configured through the ColdFusion Administrator under the Solr service settings.Affected if Solr service is installed and configured for use with ColdFusion 9.0
-
Check Solr service accessibilityAttempt to access the Solr service endpoint from a remote system without providing any authentication credentials. This can be done by making an HTTP request to the Solr web interface or API URLs.Affected if The Solr service responds and allows access without requiring authentication credentials
-
Inspect Solr access control configurationExamine the Solr configuration files and web.xml to determine whether authentication and authorization controls are properly configured to restrict access to collection metadata, search information, and index data.Affected if No authentication or authorization controls are enforced on the Solr collections endpoint
You are affected if you are running Adobe ColdFusion 9.0 with Solr service enabled and the Solr collections are accessible without authentication credentials.
