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 · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion 9.0 through 9.0.2, when the JRun application server is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors.

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 confidence

Denial of service vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion 9.0 through 9.0.2 when the JRun application server is used. Remote attackers can cause unspecified DoS conditions via unknown vectors, likely impacting service availability.

MitigationApply Adobe security patches for ColdFusion 9.0.2 or upgrade to a supported ColdFusion version. If JRun is not required, consider migrating to another application server.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify ColdFusion version
    Locate the ColdFusion installation and determine the exact version number, typically found in the ColdFusion administrator interface, version.ini file, or install directory documentation
    Affected if The installed version matches 9.0, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2 exactly
  2. Confirm JRun application server is in use
    Determine whether the JRun application server is the underlying server handling ColdFusion requests, as the vulnerability only affects ColdFusion when JRun is used
    Affected if JRun is configured as the application server for this ColdFusion installation
  3. Verify network exposure
    Assess whether the ColdFusion server is accessible over the network, as remote attackers can trigger the DoS condition via network vectors
    Affected if The ColdFusion server is exposed to network or internet access without adequate filtering

The environment is affected if Adobe ColdFusion versions 9.0, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2 are installed and the JRun application server is in use, as the unknown attack vector can cause service unavailability.
