News and AnnouncementsBeware that ColdFusion 2021 end-of-life (and end of updates) is coming Nov 2025, and your optionsAre you still running ColdFusion 2021? While it's still supported/updated by Adobe, did you know that its end-of-life is coming just several months from now, Nov 10, 2025? That's the date when "core" support for that release ends--meaning no more updates from Adobe after that, not even security fixes.What about more recent releases, if you may wonder? CF 2023 (the current latest release) will get updates into 2028 (5 years after it was release). And there's the coming CF 2025 release, currently in pre-release (as I have recently blogged about), which is of course a great sign for the continued vitality of CF.But this looming deadline for CF2021 is a reminder that as the years roll on, we not only get new versions but we must say good-bye to old ones.Wondering what you can do? or when CF2023 or CF2025 support will end also? And what's the difference between "core" support and the available "extended" support which Adobe sells? (The extended support plan does NOT provide updates beyond this coming November.) For more on these, including official Adobe documentation that discusses such things, as well as my thoughts on migration, costs, various options to consider, and more, do read on.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/9/coldfusion2021_end_of_life_nov_2025 Java updates of Jan 21, 2025 for 8, 11, 17, 21, and 23: thoughts and resourcesIt's that time again: there are new JVM updates released today (Jan 21, 2025) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, 17, and 21, as well as the new short-term release 23. (The previous short-term release, Java 22, is no longer updated.)TLDR: The new updates are 1.8.0_441 (aka 8u441), 11.0.26, 17.0.14, 21.0.6, and 23.0.2, respectively. Crazy that there are now 5 current Java releases, I realize. More below, including more on each of them including what changed as well as bug fixes and the security fixes each version contains (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), which are offered in Oracle resources I list below.Oracle calls these updates "critical patch updates" (yep, "CPU"), but they are in fact scheduled quarterly updates, so that the "critical" aspect of this nomenclature may sometimes be a bit overstated. As is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes across the four JVM versions, though not always.For some folks, that's all they need to hear. For others, read on.Whether this is your first time updating Java or your fiftieth, there are some things that you may or may not know.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/21/java_updates_jan_2025 Into the Box Round 1 of Sessions and Workshops are now out!Our first round of sessions and workshops for Into the Box 2025 is here!

It's news I first shared back in July, and the deal has been extended one last time, thus this post.TLDR; Now through Feb 28, 2025 those running CF9, 10, 11, 2016 or 2018 can upgrade to CF2023 for 25% off its full price. (Those running CF2021 can already/always could upgrade at 50% off the full price.)This is a deal offered only by Intergral, makers of FusionReactor, who are also resellers of CF. Adobe doesn't even offer this deal themselves. For more, see their blog post at https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/news/save-25-on-adobe-cf2023-upgrades/.Act now, it could save you hundreds or even thousands of $$s on a single license! https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/17/last_chance_for_cf_upgrade_discount_from_cf2018_or_earlier New Releases and UpdatesTestBox v6.1.0 releaseWe’re super excited to announce the release of TestBox 6.1.0!

News and AnnouncementsTomcat VulnerabilityTime-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.1, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.33, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.97. The mitigation for CVE-2024-50379 was incomplete. Users running Tomcat on a case insensitive file system with the default servlet write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) may need additional configuration to fully mitigate CVE-2024-50379 depending on which version of Java they are using with Tomcat: - running on Java 8 or Java 11: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches must be explicitly set to false (it defaults to true) - running on Java 17: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches, if set, must be set to false (it defaults to false) - running on Java 21 onwards: no further configuration is required (the system property and the problematic cache have been removed) Tomcat 11.0.3, 10.1.35 and 9.0.99 onwards will include checks that sun.io.useCanonCaches is set appropriately before allowing the default servlet to be write enabled on a case insensitive file system. Tomcat will also set sun.io.useCanonCaches to false by default where it can.https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-56337 How to resolve with Lucee: https://dev.lucee.org/t/cvs-exploit-of-tomcat-9-10-11/14590 End of 2024 - what did it bring itWhat is 2025 bringing? New Releases and UpdatesAdobe Security Updates released December 23rd, 2024 - ColdFusion 2023 Update 12 and 2021 Update 18We have released critical security updates for ColdFusion (2023 release) and ColdFusion (2021 release).Adobe is aware that CVE-2024-53961 has a known proof-of-concept that could cause an arbitrary file system read.View the security bulletin, APSB24-107, and the tech notes for more information.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2024/12/released-coldfusion-2023-and-2021-december-23rd-2024-security-updates/An Initial Analysis of Adobe ColdFusion CVE-2024-53961 - from HoyahaxaAdobe released APSB24-107 today, which addresses one vulnerability in ColdFusion tracked as CVE-2024-53961 and described as a path traversal that could lead to file retrieval. Based on a quick review of the corresponding patches, it appears to be a security enhancement that improves protection (and possibly remediates bypasses) against the attack vectors first addressed in APSB24-14 / CVE-2024-20767 back in March. https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2024/12/an-initial-analysis-of-cve-2024-53961.html Blog from Charlie on the updates: https://www.carehart.org/blog/2024/12/23/ColdFusion_updates_released_Dec_23_2024 Webinars, Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI - Sac Interactive Meetup: All I Want for Christmas is AI with Luke KilpatrickWed, Dec 18 · 6:00 PM PSThttps://www.meetup.com/sacinteractive/events/303708503/?eventOrigin=home_page_upcoming_events$all Sac Interactive Meetup: January with Kai KoenigCFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comMerry Xmas - All of the Into the Box 2024 videos are now available for paid subscriptionshttps://www.cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2024 Conferences and TrainingITB 2025Location: Washington, DCDates: April 30, 2025 - May 2, 2025 - Washington, DCTickets and more info: https://t.co/cFLDUJZEyM50% off blind tickets$249.50 for the Conference$349.50 for the Conference + Workshop!!!Call for Speakers CLOSEDCFCamp 2025May 22, 23rd - 2025Atomis Hotel Munich Airporthttps://www.cfcamp.org/ Call for Speakers open - https://www.papercall.io/cfcamp2025 Closes February 28, 2025 ( 4am PST )More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/Blogs, Posts, and Videos of the Week12/29/24 - Blog - Ben Nadel - My Internal InVision Feature Demo VideosAlthough InVision is shutting its doors, it's been an amazing journey; and, I've done a lot of work that I'm incredibly proud of. In particular, I feel great about the way in which I embraced experimentation with both arms; and, that I tried throwing as many features against the wall to see which would stick. Some of my experiments ended up being a "nothing burger". But, some of them went on to become highly valuable parts of the application and the user experience (UX). The whole process made me somewhat fearless in the face of opposition; and, taught me to love my failures just as much as my successes.

News and AnnouncementsNew Vulnerability Reported - Adobe Patched in March!Today, CISA also added a critical Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2024-20767), which Adobe patched in March. Since then, several proof-of-concept exploits have been published online.CVE-2024-20767 is due to an improper access control weakness that allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to read the system and other sensitive files. According to SecureLayer7, successfully exploiting ColdFusion servers with the admin panel exposed online can also allow attackers to bypass security measures and perform arbitrary file system writes.https://www.scyscan.com/cve-2024-20767/adobe-coldfusion-improper-access-control-vulnerability/#google_vignette Important notice: Upcoming deprecations and removals in ColdFusion (2025 release)Added cfencode.sh to the table of removals.Updated Customizing an HTTP response to HTTP reason phrases.Added contact email id cf-deprecation@adobe.comhttps://coldfusion.adobe.com/2024/12/important-notice-upcoming-deprecations-and-removals-in-coldfusion-2025-release/ ICYMI - Adobe CF2025 Beta is now openGet an exclusive sneak peek at what’s next for ColdFusion!

(The previous short-term release, Java 22, is no longer updated.)TLDR: The new updates are 1.8.0_431 (aka 8u431), 11.0.25, 17.0.13, 21.0.5, and 23.0.1 respectively. Crazy that there are now 5 current Java releases, I realize. More below, including more on each of them including what changed as well as bug fixes and the security fixes each version contains (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), which are offered in Oracle resources I list below.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2024/10/15/java_updates_oct_2024 PayPal's NVP/SOAP API for Website Payments Pro accounts suddenly stopped working sometime early OctoberPayPal's NVP/SOAP API for Website Payments Pro accounts suddenly stopped working sometime around October 4th (possibly Sep 30). Some developers that reported having the issue were using legacy classic ASP and others were using ColdFusion. I believe we've been using the PayPal DoDirectPayment API since it was introduced back in 2002.At some point, PayPal added the following undated disclaimer to their documentation. (According to Microsoft Copilot, "PayPal's NVP (Name-Value Pair) API was marked as "legacy" around October 12th, 2021".)CFPayment (retired) supports WPP & Payflow, but not the new REST API method. Searching online for "ColdFusion (or cfml) paypal rest api" didn't return anything beneficial, so it became apparent that there was a need for a solution... any solution.James Moberg has an updated Paypal Rest API Cfc available here: https://dev.to/gamesover/coldfusion-paypal-rest-api-cfc-339p Secure Your ColdFusion Perpetual License Before Adobe’s Subscription-Only SwitchFollowing Adobe’s announcement at the Adobe ColdFusion Summit in Las Vegas, ColdFusion will transition to a subscription-only licensing model. This major shift in licensing strategy means developers and organizations have a limited window to secure their final perpetual ColdFusion license.While we don’t know the date for the Adobe switch, FusionReactor customers have an exclusive opportunity to secure their last perpetual license and save significantly in the process. This final offer has been extended to December 31, 2024, giving organizations more months to make this crucial decision.https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/secure-your-coldfusion-perpetual-license-before-adobes-subscription-only-switch/ Microsoft Copilot is a little Snarky about ColdFusion 😛New Releases and UpdatesIntroducing CBSSO: Simplifying OAuth and SAML for ColdBox ApplicationsOrtus Solutions has unveiled its latest innovation, CBSSO, a game-changing module for ColdBox applications.

News and AnnouncementsNew Library - SocketBox - Bring 1st Class Socket Support to BoxLang, Lucee and Adobe ColdFusionThe WebSocket server in CommandBox and BoxLang MiniServer is not really a separate "server" per se, since it’s on the same port. It’s just an upgrade listener which will upgrade any WS requests.This websocket integration will work for Lucee, Adobe, and BoxLang alike as it passes incoming messages to the app via an "internal" HTTP request to /WebSocket.cfc?method=onProcess where the CF/BL code can handle it. The incoming request will have all cookies, headers, hostname, etc that the original websocket connection was started with, so normal CGI variables and session scopes should work fine.You need to create a custom /WebSocket.cfc class that should extend the modules.socketbox.models.WebSocketCore class in this library which provides the base functionality.https://www.forgebox.io/view/socketbox https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/introducing-socketbox-a-new-websocket-library/10381/1New Releases and UpdatesTestBox v6.0.0 ReleaseTestBox 6.x is a major update to the testing framework, introducing key improvements like full support for BoxLang.
