![]() ![]() Learning more about the Security Code Analyzerįor more information on the Security Code Analyzer, see the docs, which shows more about setting up and using the tool within CF Builder. See the product’s web site for more, including installation steps (including CommandBox) and run-time configuration options. In that case, consider also Fixinator, a commercial tool/service from Foundeo, whose founder Pete Freitag is author of the ColdFusion Lockdown Guide as well as other tools and resources.įixinator does not require either the use of CFBuilder or of RDS, is not limited by CF edition, works with Lucee, and even offers an option to perform the recommended code changes if you may prefer that. Fixinator, as an alternativeĭespite the lifting of this Enterprise requirement, you may find other reasons that the CF Security Code Analyzer don’t suit you. Login to your account at the Adobe licensing site to find the available CFB licenses for any purchased CF licenses.Īgain, though: note that the Security Code Analyzer does work with the free 60-day trial of CFBuilder (2018 or 2016), so you don’t HAVE to pay for the tool to try it out. So you may have CFB licenses you are not even using. As noted in a FAQ that I link to at the end of that other blog post, you get three licenses of CF Builder with a CF Enterprise edition or one license with CF Standard edition. That said, do note that a license of CF Builder is included with the purchase of CF itself. You may have CFBuilder licenses you are not using The Security Code Analyzer is (still) one of those features. As some may know, if a license is not entered at installation or during the 60-day trial, CFBuilder will revert to the free Express edition, which holds back various features, as I have written about before. With CF2018 or 2016, the tool still ONLY works when those are running with an Enterprise license or their trial editions.Īlso, the Security Code Analyzer feature works only with a licensed or trial edition of CFBuilder. Let me repeat first that the lifting of this CF Enterprise requirement is ONLY in CF2021. (CFBuilder 2021 is still in development, planned to be built upon Visual Studio Code.) And yes, even CFBuilder 2016 can analyze code against CF2021, and will work with any edition of CF2021. It works with CF 2016, 20, and with CF Builder 20. It not only finds and describes the vulnerabilities but also recommends CFML features that could be used to mitigate those vulnerabilities.Īgain, the Security Code Analyzer is not new. ![]() (It always bugged me that the Security Analyzer was limited this way, since it seems that security is a priority which should concern all users of CF, regardless of how they licensed it.) About the Security Code Analyzerįor those not familiar with the tool (perhaps especially if they didn’t have CF Enterprise 2016 or above), Adobe introduced the ColdFusion Security Code Analyzer with ColdFusion 2016 and ColdFusion Builder 2016, as a tool to analyze CFML code for any of several kinds of common coding vulnerabilities, such sql injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and more. I also brought it to the attention of the CF team, and for now there are no plans to re-impose the restriction. This change was not something identified in the release of CF2021, but I found it to be so recently, and I’ve confirmed that it worked on several machines. ![]() Prior to CF2021, it worked only with CF’s Enterprise license or Trial edition, and specifically NOT with a Standard license or the free Developer edition. Whether you may be currently using the ColdFusion Security Code Analyzer feature or have never known of it or used it, this is a newsworthy discovery: the tool now works with ColdFusion 2021 when running even as the free Developer edition or Standard edition/license.
