News and AnnouncementsICYMI: Critical Security Update for ColdFusion APSB23-25From Adobehttps://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion-discussions/released-coldfusion-2021-and-2018-march-2023-security-updates/td-p/13649873From FoundeoAdobe has just published a security bulletin APSB23-25, and has released security updates for ColdFusion 2018 and 2021.We recommend installing these update as soon as possible, because one of the vulnerabilities has been actively exploited by attackers already. https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb23-25.htmlhttps://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2018-update-16.htmlhttps://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-6.htmlHackMyCF has been updated to warn you if the hotfix is missing.It is important to note that if you are on ColdFusion 11, or 2016 that it is possible that your servers could be vulnerable to at least one of these issue as well. However, because these versions reached end of life they are no longer receiving security patches from Adobe.One thing you can do to mitigate one of these issues is to block requests containing a variable named _cfclient. Some of the filters in FuseGuard may help prevent some attack vectors when configured to. But the best solution is to upgrade to CF2018 or 2021 and apply the patch released today.--Foundeo Inc.ICYMI - State of the CF Union 2023 ReleasedHelp us find out the state of the CF Union – what versions of CFML Engine do people use, what frameworks, tools etc.https://teratech.com/state-of-the-cf-union-2023-survey New Releases and UpdatesICYMI - New CommandBox Goodiesprint.tree() - https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1639392842656235520print.columns() and printColumns - https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1639395391148810242clipboard - https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/163946183001074483OpenAI-powered ChatGPT has arrived for Ortus DocumentationWe are pleased to announce a fun little project that our Patreon supports have been testing in private for a week or so.
