News and Events

Adobe Security Patch Day

Adobe has released security updates for ColdFusion versions 2016 and 2018. These updates resolve multiple important vulnerabilities that could lead to privilege escalation.

Vulnerability Details: DLL search-order hijacking - Privilege escalation

Note: Adobe recommends updating your ColdFusion JDK/JRE to the latest version of the LTS releases for 1.8 and JDK 11. Applying the ColdFusion update without a corresponding JDK update will NOT secure the server.  See the relevant Tech Notes for more details.
Adobe  also recommends customers apply the security configuration settings as outlined on the ColdFusion Security page as well as review the respective Lockdown guides.  ( linked in the security bulletin )

Adobe Docker Images have been updated as well.
CommandBox Docker images updated very soon.

ICYMI - ColdFusion Meetup - "Your best options to build modern front-ends with JavaScript", with Dan Wilson

Thursday July 9 at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.
The JavaScript ecosystem moves fast. In the last few years, the ecosystem has consolidated into several dominant choices like React, Angular, and Vue.js. Picking the right frameworks means you will be able to efficiently build apps your users will love. The right choice depends a lot on philosophy and your circumstances. In this presentation we’ll go over the major frameworks and discuss the pros and cons to each. We’ll also look at sample code and the overall developer experience. At the end of this talk, you’ll be better prepared to make the best choice for your company.

ColdFusion Meetup - "What Web Developers Can Learn From Native Mobile Developers", w/ TJ VanToll

Thursday July 16 at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4
Web developers tend to be unabashed defenders of the web platform, and tend to view native mobile platforms as proprietary, gated and bloated.
As a long-time web developer I felt this way too, but then something unexpected happened: I joined the dark side, and spent five years of my career working on—*gasp*—iOS and Android applications.
Now, like an explorer returning from a multi-year safari—I have so much to share! In this talk I’ll discuss how native development has improved the way I write code for the web, and how you can incorporate the best native app performance and testing tips into your web workflows.

ColdFusion Meetup - "Intro to NativeScript", with Alex Ziskind

Thursday July 23rd at 6pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.
Web developers are people too. They have needs and wants beyond just slinging code that is destined for the modern browser. They may also dream of building native mobile apps. But learning XCode and Android Studio and objective C might not be in the cards.
This is where NativeScript comes in; a framework that allows web developers to build native mobile apps using JavaScript and CSS. Alex Ziskind, the creator of NativeScripting.com, a school for learning NativeScript, will show you how to get started.
