Yes. CISA added CVE-2026-48282 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 7 Jul 2026, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild.
CISA does not list known ransomware use for it. That can change, and exploitation alone is reason to fix it first.
Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines. Check Adobe's advisory for the fixed versions, and if you can't patch quickly, restrict access to the affected ColdFusion and watch it for signs of compromise.
