CVE-2009-3960 is an XML external entity handling vulnerability in Adobe BlazeDS 3.2 and earlier, including its use in LiveCycle 8.0.1, 8.2.1, and 9.0; LiveCycle Data Services 2.5.1, 2.6.1, and 3.0; Flex Data Services 2.0.1; and ColdFusion 7.0.2, 8.0, 8.0.1, and 9.0. Remote attackers can obtain sensitive information through crafted requests involving injected XML tags and external entity references. An intrusion involving an internet-facing ColdFusion 9 server also associated the vulnerability with an apparent payload upload, although that attribution is uncertain.

CVE-2009-3960 is referenced as the subject of an active detection template, but the content provides no technical details about the flaw, affected product, impact, or exploitation.
A vulnerability in ColdFusion's XML handling that reportedly allowed the attacker to upload a file through an HTTP POST to /flex2gateway/amf. The uploaded file may have been a web shell subsequently used to establish access in an attack culminating in Cring ransomware. Exploitation is described as apparent rather than definitively established. The article states that the end-of-life installation could no longer be patched and recommends avoiding internet exposure of outdated critical systems.
