(It’s been done to death many times elsewhere.) I won’t belabor the point, and I hope this won’t became a place where we have to have the debate again. Of course I could offer a retort to many contentions, as I am in this space. To Mark’s quip about tags, for instance, you have been able to write cfscript (which looks like any scripting language) for over a decade, and since 2014 you could write templates entirely in it (no tags at all, if you prefer).Īnd before one may use this vuln as a case in point about its “poor security”, I’ll note that before this one, it hasn’t had a zero day since 2012, which is saying something.
I see it whenever the subject of debating CF’s vitality comes up. Everyone has their favorites, or their long-held reasons against something. So really, it’s not “dead”, despite what many in IT may say.Īnd sure, I realize some will chide those using it. (A google search of filetype:cfm shows over 183 million results–and that’s not counting those who use URLs that do not reference the file extension, nor those used in sites not publicly available.)Īnd it’s been updated every two years, most recently CF2018, with CF2020 in the works. It seems to be a sport for some, when they hear of CF. Mark and verdon, I understand the derision.
#Adobe coldfusion 11 demo update#
Identified as CVE-2019-7816, the solution is to update to ColdFusion 2018 updUpdate 10, or 11 Update 18 through the product’s server update admin feature.Īdobe recently updated ColdFusion on 12 February and should do so again on 12 March as part of Patch Tuesday if any new fixes are in the pipeline.įollow on Twitter for the latest computer security news.įollow on Instagram for exclusive pics, gifs, vids and LOLs! In 2014, another vulnerability was exploited to hack websites belonging to car company Citroen.
You don’t want this to happen to you.Ĭybercriminals have a history of developing exploits for the platform, aware perhaps that not all admins get around to patching it as quickly as they should.Ī salient example was last September’s update fixing critical flaws, APSB18-33 ( CVE-2018-15061) which an APT group reportedly targeted with an exploit made possible by weak patching. I also know what was done specifically to perpetrate the attack, and the very negative consequences of what happened once the server of a client of mine was attacked.
#Adobe coldfusion 11 demo code#
According to a blog by one of those credited by Adobe for reporting the issue, Charlie Arehart, updating should be a particular concern to ColdFusion servers that allow file uploads to a web-accessible folder, have any code that does the same in ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), and have not disallowed files with server-executable extensions.
