Adobe Macromedia ColdFusion file extensions path disclosure
| coldfusion-extensions-path-disclosure (30839) |  Low Risk |
Description:
Adobe Macromedia ColdFusion could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request for an existing file with a file extension that is not acknowledged by the server (.jws, .cfm, .cfml, or .cfc) to cause an error message to be returned containing the full installation path. An attacker could use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
