The version of Adobe ColdFusion installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2018.x update 18, 2021.x update 8, or 2023.x update 2. It is, therefore, affected by a code execution vulnerability as referenced in the APSB23-41 advisory.
Due to deserialization of untrusted data, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can cause arbitrary code execution on an affected server.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
