The default configuration of ColdFusion MX has the "Enable Robust Exception Information" option selected, which allows remote attackers to obtain the full path of the web server via a direct request to CFIDE/probe.cfm, which leaks the path in an error message.
Macromedia Flash Player before 7,0,19,0 stores a Flash data file in a predictable location that is accessible to web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera, which allows remote attackers to read restricted files via vulnerabilities in web browsers whose exploits rely on predictable names.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Macromedia Flash ad user tracking capability allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary Javascript via the clickTAG field.
Unknown "file disclosure" vulnerability in Macromedia JRun 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0, related to a log file or jrun.ini, with unknown impact.
Macromedia JRun 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 allow remote attackers to view the source code of .JSP files via Unicode encoded character values in a URL.
Buffer overflow in jrun.dll in ColdFusion MX, when used with IIS 4 or 5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service in IIS via (1) a long template file name or (2) a long HTTP header.
Macromedia Flash Player 4.0 r12 through 6.0.47.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (web browser crash) via malformed content in a Flash Shockwave (.SWF) file, as demonstrated by by ROT13 encoding the body of the file but not the headers.
Macromedia JRun 3.0 through 4.0, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to retrieve files in the WEB-INF directory, which contains Java class files and configuration information, via a request to the WEB-INF directory with a trailing dot ("WEB-INF.").
Auto-update feature of Macromedia Shockwave 7 transmits a user's password and hard disk information back to Macromedia.
Macromedia Shockwave before 6.0 allows a malicious webmaster to read a user's mail box and possibly access internal web servers via the GetNextText command on a Shockwave movie.
Macromedia "The Matrix" screen saver on Windows 95 with the "Password protected" option enabled allows attackers with physical access to the machine to bypass the password prompt by pressing the ESC (Escape) key.
Macromedia Dreamweaver uses weak encryption to store FTP passwords, which could allow local users to easily decrypt the passwords of other users.
An ActiveX control in SwDir.dll in Macromedia Shockwave 10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer 7 crash) via a long string in the swURL attribute.
Flash8b.ocx in Macromedia Flash 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer 7 crash) via a long string in the Flash8b.AllowScriptAccess method.
JRun 3.0 and 3.1 running on JRun Web Server (JWS) and IIS allows remote attackers to read arbitrary JavaServer Pages (JSP) source code via a request URL containing the source filename ending in (1) "jsp%00" or (2) "js%2570".
Directory traversal vulnerability in Macromedia JRun Web Server (JWS) 2.3.3, 3.0 and 3.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the HTTP GET request.
ColdFusion 4.5 and 5, when running on Windows with the advanced security sandbox type set to "operating system," does not properly pass security context to (1) child processes created with <CFEXECUTE> and (2) child processes that call the CreateProcess function and are executed with <CFOBJECT> or end with the CFX extension, which allows attackers to execute programs with the permissions of the System account.
Allaire JRun 2.3.3, 3.0 and 3.1 running on IIS 4.0 and 5.0, iPlanet, Apache, JRun web server (JWS), and possibly other web servers allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and directories by appending (1) "%3f.jsp", (2) "?.jsp" or (3) "?" to the requested URL.
Session fixation vulnerability in Macromedia JRun 4.0 allows remote attackers to hijack user sessions by pre-setting the user session ID information used by the session server.
Macromedia JRun 3.0 and 3.1 appends the jsessionid to URL requests (a.k.a. rewriting) when client browsers have cookies enabled, which allows remote attackers to obtain session IDs and hijack sessions via HTTP referrer fields or sniffing.
Allaire JRun 3.0 http servlet server allows remote attackers to directly access the WEB-INF directory via a URL request that contains an extra "/" in the beginning of the request (aka the "extra leading slash").
Allaire JRun 2.3 server allows remote attackers to obtain source code for executable content by directly calling the SSIFilter servlet.
Allaire JRun 3.0 http servlet server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a URL that contains a long string of "." characters.
Directory traversal vulnerability in Allaire JRun 2.3 server allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the SSIFilter servlet.
Allaire JRun 2.3.3 server allows remote attackers to compile and execute JSP code by inserting it via a cross-site scripting (CSS) attack and directly calling the com.livesoftware.jrun.plugins.JSP JSP servlet.
JSP sample files in Allaire JRun 2.3.x allow remote attackers to access arbitrary files (e.g. via viewsource.jsp) or obtain configuration information.
Servlet examples in Allaire JRun 2.3.x allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, e.g. listing HttpSession ID's via the SessionServlet servlet.
Macromedia JRun 3.0 and 3.1 allows remote attackers to obtain duplicate active user session IDs and perform actions as other users via a URL request for the web application directory without the trailing '/' (slash), as demonstrated using ctx.
Unknown vulnerability in Allaire JRun 3.1 allows remote attackers to directly access the WEB-INF and META-INF directories and execute arbitrary JavaServer Pages (JSP), a variant of CVE-2000-1050.
Unknown vulnerability in ColdFusion Server 2.0 through 4.5.1 SP2 allows remote attackers to overwrite templates with zero byte files via unknown attack vectors.
