ColdFusion
Protecting ColdFusion applications from common attacks
Submitted by Falken on Wed, 09/09/2009 - 10:24According to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/08/web_app_security_survey/ the top 3 security issues in web applications are:
- SQL injection where end users can effect the SQL executed
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) where users can cause JavaScript to be run by other users
- Cross-request forgery (CSRF) where actions can executed as if a user is logged in, without that user actually having the site open in his browser.
The following explains how ColdFusion can help protect you from each.
