Essential Security Practices for ColdFusion & Web Applications

Are you looking to strengthen your ColdFusion and web application security? This presentation covers critical security practices, including software updates, input sanitization, attack surface reduction, and more. Watch as xByte Cloud CTO Dakota Clum breaks down key security challenges and provides actionable steps to protect your applications from common vulnerabilities. Introduction • Overview of security practices for ColdFusion and web applications • Key areas: software updates, input sanitization, and reducing attack vectors Common Security Challenges • Applications often lack security by design • Inherited vulnerabilities in older applications • Risks from outdated software versions • Proof-of-concept exploits available online Critical Steps for Security • Familiarize yourself with your software stack • Keep ColdFusion, Java, and dependencies updated • Regularly perform vulnerability scans Input Sanitization • Use CFQueryParam to prevent SQL injection • Enforce strict input validation rules • Implement CAPTCHAs and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) File Upload Security • Restrict upload file types to reduce risk • Validate file names to prevent obfuscation • Store uploaded files in non-public directories Preventing Code Injection • Implement least privilege database access • Avoid using system admin users for ColdFusion data sources • Disable unused frameworks and libraries Handling Sessions Securely • Invalidate sessions for bots and illegitimate users • Avoid long-lived sessions to prevent hijacking • Monitor session usage to prevent overload attacks Protecting Admin Interfaces • Restrict ColdFusion Administrator access • Use VPNs and IP restrictions for remote access • Disable unused ColdFusion features with Package Manager Proactive Security Measures • Follow Adobe’s ColdFusion Lockdown Guide • Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing DDoS Mitigation & Performance • Use Cloudflare or other services to prevent DDoS attacks • Monitor session flooding to avoid server downtime Case Studies & Lessons Learned • Real-world SQL injection and file upload breaches • How to identify and remove malicious backdoors • Importance of version control and auditing files Conclusion • Prioritize security from the start of development • Regular updates and audits are key to a strong security posture • Deploy updated security measures and schedule routine security checks #CyberSecurity #ColdFusion #WebSecurity #SQLInjection #DDoS #Cloudflare #AdobeColdFusion #DeveloperSecurity
