In the Details secion of the May 11 Adobe Security Update at http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-11.html it says

This update resolves an information disclosure vulnerability. This vulnerability requires local access. (CVE-2010-1294)

What do you mean by "local access"?

    What do you mean by "local access"?

    It does not really specify. As a non-security expert, my guess would be someone with local access to the server, though not CF Administrator access.

    "Adobe ColdFusion is prone to an unspecified local information-disclosure vulnerability. Local attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may lead to further attacks."

    Thanks for the reply, but that is why I asked for Adobe to clarify. I don't want to guess or assume.

    Understood. But these are just user forums. Adobe employees do not generally monitor them. So if you want a definitive answer, you will have to contact them directly.
