CFBreak 2024-23 Published on June 14, 2024
Week 23, 2024: Here's the latest from the CFML, ColdFusion and Lucee community.
ColdFusion Security Hotfix
This week, if you are using Adobe ColdFusion, don't miss that Adobe has published a security hotfix for ColdFusion 2021, and 2023. This release has a breaking change which changes the default algorithm for Hash(), Encrypt(), and Decrypt() it is no longer CFMX_COMPAT. You are hopefully avoiding that anyways, but really old code (written before CF7) may not have specified the algorithm since it was not an option back then. Also be sure to read Charlie's post for some more important info.
I hope you enjoy this issue of CFBreak!
Cheers!
