2)Adobe ColdFusion Multiple Vulnerabilities

Adobe ColdFusion is susceptible to multiple vulnerabilities including instances of Cross-Site Scripting, HTML Injection, session fixation, and information disclosure. Victims can have their session hijacked and give an attacker unauthorized access to the application.

The information disclosure vulnerability could also reveal sensitive information which could  lead to more damaging attacks. Updates which address each of these vulnerabilities are available. Contact the vendor for more information.
