Charlie’s Blog Anniversaries
An interesting pair of anniversaries for my blog: 600 posts, over 17 years this month
After I posted my last entry, I happened to notice that it was exactly my 600th post here at carehart.org/blog. How about that? And in that time I've had 3,645 comments from folks. I do write mostly for you all, so thanks!
I also noticed that it marks my 17th year of blogging here, almost to the day with my first entry posted this same week back then, Apr 15 2006. That's "pretty darn interesting", as Ray Camden might say.

FWIW, I'd also blogged elsewhere--yes, on CF--prior to starting this one. And the first of those posts were in early 1998--so technically it's my 25th anniversary of blogging about CF. :-)

Sac Interactive Meetup - Crash Course in Web Components with Nolan Erck

Wednesday - April 19th, 2023 - 6:30PM PT

Web Components provide a modular way to build a consistent design system and user experience across your entire application. Instead of copy/pasting the same chunks of coded into various places, you can have a JavaScript/HTML expert focus on getting the UX correct, without them needing to worry about what's happening in the back-end at all.

Web Components offer reusable functionality on the front-end, with native JavaScript. They are a great middle-ground between standard request/response based traditional web applications, and apps that aren't quite ready to move to a full-on JavaScript SPA framework. Web Components themselves are 100% native JavaScript - no new libraries required! Let's learn how Web Components work, then look at integrating them into a back-end like CFML or PHP -- I promise it's easier than you think!

ICYMI: Critical Security Update for ColdFusion APSB23-25

From Adobe

https://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion-discussions/released-coldfusion-2021-and-2018-march-2023-security-updates/td-p/13649873

From Foundeo

Adobe 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.html

https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2018-update-16.html

https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-6.html

HackMyCF 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.

ICYMI - Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Mura CMS and Masa CMS (CVE-2022-47003 and CVE-2022-47002)
