"The version of Adobe ColdFusion running on the remote Windows host is
missing a security hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to
    improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker
    can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code in a
    user's browser session. (CVE-2016-1113)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the
    Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library that is
    triggered during the deserialization of Java Objects. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    execute arbitrary code on the target host.
    (CVE-2016-1114)

  - A flaw exists related to certificate validation due to
    the server hostname not being verified to match a domain
    name in the Subject's Common Name (CN) or SubjectAltName
    field when handling wild card certificates. A
    man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this by spoofing
    the TLS/SSL server via a certificate that appears valid,
    resulting the disclosure or manipulation of transmitted
    data. (CVE-2016-1115)");
