Summary #

Netsparker identified a stack trace disclosure (ColdFusion) in the target web server's HTTP response.

Impact #

An attacker can obtain information such as:

Stack trace.
Physical file path of template file.
Information about the generated exception.

This information might help an attacker gain more information and potentially focus on the development of further attacks for the target system.
