Railo Contains Unpatched Security Vulnerabilites Fixed in Lucee
The Railo project has not released an update in many years. The source code for Railo has been forked into a new project called Lucee. There have been several security vulnerabilities fixed in Lucee that also existed in Railo, but remain unpatched in Railo. Because of this we do not recommend using Railo at this time, upgrade to Lucee instead.

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.

The JVM that you are running contains security vulnerabilities that could be exploited in server side environments. Java 7 is EOL as of April 2015, upgrade to Java 8 if possible. Java 8 is not supported by CF9 or below.
