descriptionThe version of Adobe ColdFusion installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 11.x update 19, 2016.x update 11, or 2018.x update 4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB19-27 advisory. - File extension blacklist bypass potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2019-7838) - Command Injection potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2019-7839) - Deserialization of untrusted data potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2019-7840) Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application
