important
ColdFusion Administrator is Public
ColdFusion Administrator should be restricted by IP or blocked with Web Server password protection. Also consider requiring a SSL connection.
More Information: https://www.petefreitag.com/blog/coldfusion-admin-public/
important
CFTOKEN is not a UUID
CFTOKEN should be set to use a UUID in the ColdFusion Administrator. Session ids may be very easy to guess if UUID's are not used.
important
RDS may be Enabled
RDS may be enabled on your server (due to a change in recent CF versions we can no longer detect if it is on or off, however we have detected that the RDSServlet URI is responding to requests). We recommened that you block the URI /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm and/or remove the Servlet Mapping in web.xml to prevent unnecessary access to the RDSServlet.
important
Certificate Signature Uses SHA1
Your SSL Certificate is signed using a SHA1 signature, which is considered weak. You may see security errors or warnings in Chrome.
important
SSL Version 3 Enabled
Your Web Server is accepting SSL V3 connections, vulnerabile to the POODLE (CVE-2014-3566) attack. Consider disabling this protocol, which may impact old clients such as IE6 on Windows XP. Disabling SSLv3 may also impact server side HTTPS clients (that consume your web services or APIs), and potentially bots / crawlers. You can use our IIS SSL tool to disable SSLv3 on IIS: https://foundeo.com/products/iis-weak-ssl-ciphers/
important
The JVM is Running under Privileged User Account
The JVM process is running under a system administrative account (eg SYSTEM, Administrator, or root). ColdFusion should be running under an un-privileged user account.
important
Tomcat 8 Vulnerability
The version of Tomcat 8 you are running contains security vulnerabilities that are fixed in Tomcat Version 8.5.99 or greater. Adobe ColdFusion 2016 users: ACF 2016 has reached End of Life as of 2021-02-17, you must upgrade to a supported version of ColdFusion to fix this issue. Lucee users should update Tomcat manually. Tomcat 8.0 has reached End of Life and should be updated to the latest 8.5.x version.
important
The /cf_scripts/scripts directory is in default location.
Consider changing the default location of /cf_scripts/scripts/ or /cfscripts_2018/ by changing the value of the Default Script Src setting in the ColdFusion Administrator.

important
Security Hotfix APSB16-22 Not Installed
The security hotfix referenced in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB16-22 was not found to be installed on your server. This hotfix addresses an input validation issue that could result in reflected XSS. The issue is resolved in ColdFusion 10 Update 20+, ColdFusion 11 Update 9+, and ColdFusion 2016 Update 2+
warning
Session Cookies are not marked HTTPOnly
Using HTTPOnly cookies prevents the session cookies from being hijacked via a javascript XSS attack on modern browsers.
More Information: https://www.petefreitag.com/blog/httponly-session-coldfusion/
warning
LogJam: DH Group Uses a common prime.
Your HTTPS server is configured to use a common 1024bit prime. Security researchers estimate that a nation-state could break encryption on servers with a common 1024 bit DH group prime.
warning
LogJam: DH Group Smaller than 2048 Supported
Your server supports a DH Group Size smaller than 2048 bits. It is recommended to use a unique 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman group. Note that Java 1.7 and below cannot connect to servers (eg with CFHTTP) using a DH group size larger than 1024.
warning
SSL Certificate Public Key Below 2048 Bits
Your SSL certificate public key is below 2048 bits, consider making a new certificate signing request (CSR) and rekey your certificate with 2048 bit key or larger.
warning
SSL Certificate Expires Soon
Your SSL certificate will expire soon, please make sure you renew it.
