Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2010-5290 (CCN-87740)

Assigned:2010-08-10
Published:2010-08-10
Updated:2017-08-29
Summary:The authentication process in Adobe ColdFusion before 10 does not require knowledge of the cleartext password if the password hash is known, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain administrative privileges by leveraging read access to the configuration file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2861.
The CVSS score reflects previously published information indicating successful exploitation allows SYSTEM access on certain operating systems.
