Has anyone added patch ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 12 and broken their server?  Added the patch this morning and now none of applications work.  You get a first page, but they won’t work beyond that.  No errors no logging, no clue!

In a test environment running CF23, I installed update 7 yesterday.  Today the site wouldn’t load certain pages that rely on URL called without the scoped “URL” parameters to run.

For this example, our code was calling for a url parameter such as oursite.com/pagename?param=123, calling for that param directly by the name “param” rather than “url.param

This is going to be a big deal to get all our code up to date for the latest version so I added the JVM Arg “-Dcoldfusion.searchimplicitscopes=true” in CFAdmin, for the sake of keeping it running until we can prioritize a code update.  However, be aware this isn’t the most secure option and may not be available in future releases.

I applied Update 12 last 12/23 on several Windows servers and had no issues.  I did it as an offline manual install though.  Not thru the Administrator screen.
