CVE-2013-0631
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 · uneditedAdobe ColdFusion 9.0, 9.0.1, and 9.0.2 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in January 2013.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceAdobe ColdFusion versions 9.0, 9.0.1, and 9.0.2 contain an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthorized attackers to obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild in January 2013, indicating it was a known attack vector at the time.

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.
-
Check installed ColdFusion versionAccess the ColdFusion Administrator console (typically at /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm) and locate the version information displayed on the login page or in the System Information section. Alternatively, check the version file in the ColdFusion installation directory.Affected if The version displayed is 9.0, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2 exactly
-
Verify ColdFusion edition and buildIn the ColdFusion Administrator, navigate to the Settings or System Information area to confirm the exact build number and edition (Standard or Enterprise).Affected if The build corresponds to the 9.0, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2 releases
-
Confirm ColdFusion 9.x is in useReview any documentation or configuration files that reference the ColdFusion version in use across the environment, or query the ColdFusion service for its version attribute.Affected if The running instance is identified as ColdFusion version 9.x in the 9.0 through 9.0.2 range
You are affected if your ColdFusion installation is version 9.0, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2 exactly, as these versions contain the information disclosure vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade ColdFusion 9.x to the latest patched version provided by Adobe, or migrate to a currently supported ColdFusion version (ColdFusion 10 or later) as ColdFusion 9 reached end-of-life. Apply any available security hotfixes from Adobe for the 9.x line.
