📋Executive Summary
CISA has added CVE-2026-48282, an Adobe ColdFusion path traversal vulnerability allowing arbitrary code execution, to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. A KEV listing means active exploitation is already happening in the wild, not a theoretical future risk. MSSP owners have days, not weeks, before this shows up in a client incident.
⚠️Why It Matters for MSSPs
ColdFusion installations appear in web-facing client environments across healthcare, government contractors, and mid-market businesses, all segments common to MSSP client rosters. If a client runs an unpatched ColdFusion instance and gets hit, the question your client will ask is whether you flagged this, and the answer needs to be yes and documented. Your own internal web tools or client portal infrastructure may also run ColdFusion, making this a direct stack risk before it ever becomes a client conversation.
✅Recommended Action
In the next 24 hours, run an asset inventory sweep across your RMM for any ColdFusion installations in both your internal environment and every managed client environment. Push the patch or apply vendor mitigations immediately for any internet-exposed instance, and send a written client advisory today so your notification is timestamped before any incident occurs.
