Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Macromedia ColdFusion, which could be exploited by attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information or bypass security restrictions.
The first issue is due to an input validation error when processing malformed requests (e.g. containing file extensions which are not handled by the server), which could be exploited by attackers to determine the installation path.
The second issue is due to an error when accessing the "CFIDE/administrator/login.cfm" script directly without supplying a hostname (via a "GET" request), which could cause a vulnerable application to disclose the internal IP address of the server.
The third vulnerability is due to an input validation error in the cross site scripting protection module that does not filter hex-encoded null characters (%00), which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site (e.g. by supplying a specially crafted "path" parameter with the "CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc" script).
