Ensuring the security of your ColdFusion environment is crucial, and by adhering to simple rules, you can significantly enhance its robustness. Here are some key practices to follow: Use Supported Versions: Always make sure to use a ColdFusion version supported by Adobe. Regularly update both ColdFusion and Java to benefit from the latest security patches and improvements. Utilize cfqueryparam: Protect your applications from SQL injection attacks by consistently using cfqueryparam in your queries. Despite these fundamental security measures, it’s essential […]
(Originally published in Feb 2024; updated in Aug 2025) When you enter a ColdFusion serial number, whether during installation or via the CF Admin “Licensing and Activation” page, the activation of that license (new since CF2021) should take place immediately, interacting with the Adobe licensing server over the internet. And when the server is offline/on a private network or CF is not connected to the internet (such as via proxy settings in the CF Admin Package Manager>Settings page), the CF […]

When working on migration projects to ColdFusion 2023, one of the most common updates is to bulk replace instances of ‘cf_sql_int’ with ‘cf_sql_integer’. In some projects, data validation for variables may have been overlooked, such as using float data or commas in numeric values. To address these issues comprehensively, we can employ custom tags like ‘cf_query’ and ‘cf_queryparam’ to handle required conversions and data validation. An excellent reference for this approach is Adam Cameron’s 2012 article on ‘Custom tags: nesting’: […]
