Cold fusion: Now there’s an idea I hadn’t thought about in a while. It came back onto my radar in spring 2026. I had written an article on how scientists tend to be risk averse, and Huw Price, a philosopher at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, responded to it on Bluesky, citing a paper he’d recently co-authored on attitudes toward cold fusion. He thinks scientists have been overly dismissive not only of cold fusion, but also of the claim that they have been overly dismissive of cold fusion. As if to prove his point, a journal had just rejected his paper. I’ve long admired Price’s work on the nature of time and causation, so I was intrigued. In philosophy, “qualia” refers to the subjective qualities of our experience: what it’s… Source link

Ravie LakshmananAug 12, 2026Vulnerability / Web Security Adobe has shipped updates to address multiple critical security vulnerabilities impacting ColdFusion, Commerce, and Campaign Classic that, if successfully exploited, could result in arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation. The most severe of the flaws are listed below – CVE-2026-48362 (CVSS score: 10.0) – An operating system command injection vulnerability in ColdFusion that could lead to arbitrary code execution (Fixed in 2025.0.12 and 2023.0.23) CVE-2026-48273 (CVSS score: 9.9) – An eval injection vulnerability in ColdFusion that could lead to arbitrary code execution (Fixed in 2025.0.12 and 2023.0.23) CVE-2026-71384 (CVSS score: 9.6) – An incorrect authorization vulnerability in ColdFusion that could… Source link
Read More »Critical Adobe ColdFusion Vulnerability Exploited in Attacks
Threat actors are exploiting a recently patched vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion that carries a maximum severity rating. Tracked as CVE-2026-48282 (CVSS score of 10/10), the security defect is described as a path traversal that could lead to arbitrary code execution. It was patched on June 30 alongside five other max severity flaws in Adobe’s rapid application development platform that could be exploited for code execution. Adobe released ColdFusion 2025 update 10 and ColdFusion 2023 update 21 to resolve these flaws, noting that it was not aware of any exploits in the wild targeting them. However, the tech giant did assign a priority rating of 1 to the security update, urging users to apply the patches as soon as possible, given the high risk that attackers could… Source link
Read More »Attackers exploit critical Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability (CVE-2026-48282)
CVE-2026-48282, one of the maximum severity vulnerabilities patched in Adobe ColdFusion on June 30, 2026, has been targeted by attackers in the wild. Exploitation attempts were detected on July 2, through the honeypot sensors of cybersecurity threat-intelligence service KEVIntel, mere minutes after watchTowr researchers published a technical analysis of this and other ColdFusion flaws recently fixed by Adobe. What makes CVE-2026-48282 dangerous Adobe ColdFusion is a widely used development platform for building and deploying enterprise-grade websites and web applications. It’s usually run on Windows or Linux servers. Seven days ago, Adobe disclosed that it had released patches for CVE-2026-48282 and nine other critical vulnerabilities affecting… Source link
Read More »CVE-2026-48282: Adobe ColdFusion RDS Path Traversal Leading to RCE
Executive Summary Resecurity is tracking the exploitation of CVE-2026-48282, a critical path traversal vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion affecting the Remote Development Services (RDS) FILEIO handler. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to write arbitrary files anywhere on the server’s file system, including the web root, resulting in unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE). Adobe assigned this vulnerability a CVSS v3.1 score of 10.0 (Critical), reflecting both its severe impact and the simplicity of exploitation. Due to active real-world exploitation, CISA has officially added this flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. Because exploitation requires neither authentication nor user interaction, any Internet-accessible… Source link
Read More »Max severity Adobe ColdFusion flaw now exploited in attacks
Attackers are now exploiting a maximum-severity Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-48282, according to vulnerability intelligence company KEVIntel. ColdFusion is a commercial web app development platform designed to help build and deploy enterprise-grade websites. The CVE-2026-48282 security flaw affects ColdFusion versions 2025.9, 2023.20, and earlier, and can be exploited by attackers without privileges to gain remote code execution on unpatched systems. Adobe released security updates on Tuesday to address the vulnerability, saying that it posed a high risk of exploitation and urging admins to deploy patches immediately. “This update resolves vulnerabilities being targeted, or which have a higher risk of being targeted, by exploit(s) in the wild… Source link

This research is a glimpse into the capability powering the watchTowr Platform, a Preemptive Exposure Management solution. We enable organizations to autonomously validate and mitigate their exposure to emerging threats, ahead of in-the-wild exploitation. Request a demo We’re back, melting – we’ve tried shouting, screaming, and throwing things at the Sun, and it is just not working. Before we begin our analysis, we want to be clear – given the number of vulnerabilities fixed (and some not mentioned..), we’ve struggled to have confidence in our attribution of “vulnerability specific CVE ID”. We’ve performed some informed, uninformed, random guesses – but as usual,… Source link
