BIG VULNERABILITY
Hi All,
I found this on cfdjlist and found it very worth of posting here since this
list
is getting more traffic than cfdjlist these days. I've tried this test on
several
of our more well known CF sites and many of them failed.
Good morning:
I wanted to pass this one along from the webappsec list. CF 4 and 4.5 also
appear to be vulnerable to this- the workaround is ok. I'm battening down
the hatches this morning.
Kudos to Peter Grundl for finding this and letting us know.

CF's Most Wanted ::
(Features, that is...) With all this talk of learning other languages to flesh out your portfolio, and more importantly your knowledge, along with the looming release of NEO/CFMX, I've been trying to think of the features that I currently miss in my ColdFusion. And I thought what better way to get Macromedia's attention, then by creating a heated discussion among the leading, path-forging cf users, which obviously reside on this list (yes, I'm buttering you up.) It seams to me that we see some of the same issues puzzling new or begginer users over and over again, or some great features that are available though creative uses of custom tags are not readily available to those developers hosting on shared servers. And I feel that MM could easily add some nice new tags or attributes to current tags that solve most everyone's problems (and I know nothing is that easy, but it'd be nice.) I also know most of us have submitted feature requests on MM's site, but the community never really geats to chime in. So what I'd like to do is gather up a few of your ideas for improving ColdFusion just to let MM know what we're are thinking. I'm also very interested in what other developers are thinking, and I'm sure y'all are too. I know that timing probably isn't the best for their very, very busy brains over in MM land right now, but there really isn't anytime better than the present. Here's some of the basic probelms that I've come across and that I've seen pop up on this list over and over from the last couple of years: cfmail/cfpop: Needs more stability, more power, ability to read and write multi-part messages (at least), maybe kill the spool or move straight to the a Java spool (with NEO's Java backbone, there really is no excuse not to revamp this tag) cfimage (new tag): Abilty to resize images on the fly, store in cache, read dimensions, etc. (should be a cinch with Macromedia's expertise in graphic products [yea, right]) locking: Needs to protect the server. Period. cfgraph: Use flash to it's fullest. The current tag is a start, but still weak. Needs options galore. cfdirectory: Please just give us one more attribute (filesonly=True, or type=file) or update filter to accept type=file or type=dir. Those directory dots irk me 99% of the time I use the tag. c# support: I'm not even sure this is a possilbilty and it's probably a little early to call for it, but something to think about. And I know that a lot of these features are available as custom tags, etc, right now. But it's not always a feasible option for many developers who are on a monetary or time constraint, or are just hosting on a public server that doesn't allow custom tags. (Honestly, I'm not trying to put anyone out of business.) NOTE: I'm also aware that some some of these things may already be alleviated or improved upon in NEO. For all the Beta testers and PDA hounds out there, please do not jump in on this discussion and say That's already developed and then the subsequent You're not allowed to say that and then I have to say Please keep this discussion in a pre-NEO context etc, etc. So, I'll go ahead and say that now, please keep this discussion to pre-NEO improvements. Although NEO is on it's way, please just submit features you have thought and dreamt about prior to NEO, and future releases. Anyways, I really think that the best minds in the cf community are hanging amidst us, so please share your thoughts and ideas, and maybe we can make CF an even easier, more robust, powerful product- Tyler Silcox email | [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Dynamic Pages and Search Engines
I've read through the archives and Ben Forta's article on friendly URL's and I don't think anything addresses this issue. I could be wrong though. I'm working on a new site that's essentially all database driven, a typical url is category.cfm?ID=4 . If I want the contents of this page to be indexed with the necessary database data how would I go about doing that? Ben's article and other posts mention replacing the '?' with a '/' but isn't that just going to get the information that is in the cfm file without the db data? My query needs the '4' to retrieve the relevant content, without that there is no content on the page worth searching. How does the spider know that there should be a '4' on the end of the query string? And that there should also be 15 other category identifiers that go with the category.cfm page? How do I get spiders to crawl these kinds of pages in their 'content filled' stages not just the static text. Thanks for any help, Daron J.

netscape is also used as spyware for aol, I switched to mozilla. I can't

RE: Access /SQL Server
Sounds like the majority processing on this page is CF. Check the debugging output and see how long the SQL queries take. If your SQL queries are taking a noticable abmount of time then I'd suggest ensuring that your indexes are correct and that your Transact SQL is effecient. Without seeing the code it's hard to suggest what it is. Is this page inserting/updating/or deleting data? if so your indexes will increase the time it takes to execute the SQL statement and hence the page as all of your indexes have to be rebuilt when an action other than a select is performed on the table. -Original Message- From: Jerry Staple [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 April 2002 16:08 To: CF-Talk Subject: Access /SQL Server Hi, We have recently migrated an access database to sql server 2000.

RE: Using cftransaction/cftransaction... Why?
-Original Message- From: James Sleeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] What it means to you as a developer is essentially that however many queries you do inside a CFSTRANSACTION/CFTRANSACTION block they will ALL be executed at the same time (well, they won't strictly, but it will look that way to you). Generally you use them to maintain database query integrit, think of this (most common) example... Is there much of a processing cost to this? If not why wouldn't I surround all my associated query blocks with the cftransaction tags.

RE: viewing code in Netscape
I'm using Netscape 4.78 (I uninstalled 6.0 and haven't been back yet), and in this browser it's viewing the source just fine. I'm not very familiar with later versions so I can't be of much help, sorry. To the best of my knowledge, Netscape doesn't (or didn't until after 4.78) cache pages from a POST operation. To view the source you have to either hit Control-R to repost while you're looking at the source, or save the page and view in a text editor. It's a pain.

RE: Access /SQL Server
Turn debugging on for your IP address and see how many milliseconds the page takes to execute, then see how many milliseconds the SQL statements take to execute, that way you can tell whether it is your SQL or your CF which is the major part of the overhead. If it is your SQL then ensure that your Transact SQL has no big overhead - e.g. If you are using cursors in your SQL code this will have a v.large overhead. If however you are using ANSI standard SQL (which it sounds like you are if you have mapped directly from Access to SQL with no changes/additions) then I'm stuck as to what to suggest. It may come down to the ODBC drivers you are using - i.e. the ODBC driver for access is better than the SQL one that you are using. Try swapping to OLEDB to see if this gives you any improvements although I'd be very surprised if it did -Original Message- From: Jerry Staple [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 April 2002 16:33 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Access /SQL Server Andy, It is only selecting data and it is running on the same server as the access versions?

RE: Using cftransaction/cftransaction... Why?
Is there much of a processing cost to this? If not why wouldn't I surround all my associated query blocks with the cftransaction tags. Nothing is free, including CFTRANSACTION. When you designate a set of queries as a transaction, the database has to take special actions which typically limit what other transactions can do while your transaction is running. (Note that any single query is a transaction - it'll either succeed or fail in its entirety.) So, if you unnecessarily chain a bunch of queries together within a single transaction, that may cause a significant bottleneck. That being said, if you do have associated queries, and they do need to be treated as a single, atomic database operation, you'll need to group them together within a transaction. If possible, you might do this within a stored procedure, which will generally run faster.

RE: Dynamic Pages and Search Engines
Google indexs pages fine that have a ? in them. Not all search engines do, so a lot of us want to be covered by all bases cause you never know where you could get a big surge in traffic. So Ben and others, www.erikv.com have created tags you can place in your application.cfm that will parse everything after .cfm so you can have category.cfm?ID=4 be category.cfm/ID/4. The tag will parse everything back and make ID a url variable equal to 4 so that coldfusion knows it is there. The search engine is stupid though, it will only be able to index what is in front of it, so you would have to have some way to show all of your other artciles if you want those to be indexed also.

If I want the contents of this page to be indexed with the necessary database data how would I go about doing that? Ben's article and other posts mention replacing the '?' with a '/' but isn't that just going to get the information that is in the cfm file without the db data? My query needs the '4' to retrieve the relevant content, without that there is no content on the page worth searching. How does the spider know that there should be a '4' on the end of the query string? And that there should also be 15 other category identifiers that go with the category.cfm page?

RE: filename in code documentation - WHY?!
Gyrus asked: Every instance of code documentation [..] I've seen has 'filename' included. Any reason? Surely it's spurious [..] Is it? I put the filename and virtual path of the file at the top of every CFM file I write (or edit). [Ex: /Admin/People.cfm] Why? Because my job is mainly writing intranets, extranets, and web site for clients. The vast majority of the code is pretty much the same old thing: add/edit/delete information from tables, or get info out of tables to display. With a good common methodology and structure, any one of my coworkers can open a file and quickly find the portion that they are looking for. It's all too easy to write CF spaghetti code that is nigh impossible to understand. A common structure is the only thing that saves you from insanity. The down side to this is that many of the files look the same at first glance. That is, they all have pretty much the same structure: local variables being initialized at the top, logic to check those variables after that, logic to act on those variables after that, and finally a big switch statement at the end to display the appropriate content. If you even have a common variable naming convention (good for you!) then that's another bit of abstraction that makes one page even more indistinguishable from the next. This is made even trickier by picky clients. Client A wants Column B from Table C included in their results, but Client D wants Column E from Table F. This changes query and display logic, and even occasionally business logic. But, the code is still just similar enough such that only a few lines will be different here or there. If I'm working on several of these files at the same time, Ctrl-Tab-ing back and forth between then, opening and closing other files, and I don't have a filename at the top ... well, it gets very easy to forget which is which. Especially after The Boss comes in and distracts me for 5 minutes with his idea of what the Next Big Thing is. It's easy enough to Ctrl-Home to the top of the document to make sure that I come back to the same document I think I've come back to. So that's why I put the filename (and path) at the top of every document. -R P.S. - A non-programming coworker brought up an excellent point about CF Studio the other day: Wouldn't it be nice if each file had an associated context for the file/directory tree? That is, when you switched between open files the file and directory browsers would atomagically switch back to the last place they had been *for that file*.

Re: RegEx for alpha num
It sounds like you want to make sure the password only consists of letters
and numbers. I think the following would be what you're looking for:
REFind(^[[:alnum:]]+$, #Form.Password#)
^ matches the beginning of the string
$ matches the end of the string
+ translates to 1 or more
The ^ and $ anchors are needed, since otherwise the regex will match if the
password string _contains_ an alphanumeric string, as in *-bob##.
You could also use a regex like:
^[[:alnum:]]{5,15}$
to make sure the password is betwee 5 and 15 characters in length.

Application Log Warnging using CFX Excel
We've successfully used the CFX_Excel tag for a couple of years now.
We've just upgraded our server, and we've now got a problem
with the usage of the tag. Here's the setup:
Windows 2000 Server
CF 5.0
Office 2000 (complete install)
When the CFX_Excel tag is invoked, the following warnings are generated in
the server's Applicaiton Log:
Warning #1
Detection of product '{00010409-781-11D2-B60F-006097C998E7}' feature
'ExcelUserData', component '{8AD02C96-C8B7-11D1-9C67-F81F1B38}' failed

'OfficeUserData', component '{C9AF9050-C8BE-11D1-9C67-F81F1B38}' failed.
We've tried everything (with Office and the CFX tag) from re-install, to
uninstall and re-install to having the Office disk in when the tag is
invoked. Nothing helps and this error fills the Application log about every
day (because the application is heavily used). Can anyone help or shed any
light on the problem?
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Using cftransaction/cftransaction... Why?
Dave Watts wrote: Nothing is free, including CFTRANSACTION. When you designate a set of queries as a transaction, the database has to take special actions which typically limit what other transactions can do while your transaction is running.

So, if you unnecessarily chain a bunch of queries together within a single transaction, that may cause a significant bottleneck. Unless your database uses MVCC. When using MVCC the concept of a transaction is slightly different, it is not just to group queries, it is also to timestamp them and (in)validate the tuples that are affected by them.

Converting from TIFF to Searchable PDF on the fly
Does anyone know of a CFX tag, COM object, or other component that will be able to convert TIFF images to searchable PDF documents on the fly? I think it goes without saying, but I would like to accomplish this task using ColdFusion. The TIFF files will reside locally on the server and I would like to use a nightly scheduled batch process to convert all documents to searchable PDF files. I have downloaded and installed an ActiveX component called ScanButton that claims to do what I need, but I am receiving an error message when attempting to run it. Also, I am aware of several other options, such as Adobe Capture 3.0, so I am really looking for anyone with experience or direction a component and some CF code samples. That is ending up as the hardest item in this search. Thank You.

It sounds like your problem is not in the query, but in the output of the query. Of course you will pull multiple entries with the same album, that is to be expected.

RE: querying funky text files
That ones easy you need to just use the mid function, start with the first number in the column definition, and then go to the end of the column. CFSCRIPT thisVar = mid(listGetAt(yourFileVariable, i, chr(13)), 1, 9); /CFSCRIPT This will return the variable in column one of row one. If you need to loop through to get all the rows treat it like a list with chr(13) as the delimiter. You should also be able to do something similar to return an actual query set using the query functions. I am not sure but you may also be able to set it up as a datasource. I have heard of it working for comma and tab delimited files, just not fixed width. Let me know if it works please, I would like to try it some time.

Re: filename in code documentation - WHY?!
If I'm working on several of these files at the same time, Ctrl-Tab-ing back and forth between then, opening and closing other files, and I don't have a filename at the top ... well, it gets very easy to forget which is which. Especially after The Boss comes in and distracts me for 5 minutes with his idea of what the Next Big Thing is. It's easy enough to Ctrl-Home to the top of the document to make sure that I come back to the same document I think I've come back to. Isn't it even easier to look at the file tabs across the bottom of CF Studio for the filename? I agree that a Synch TOC-type function to get the open file and the explorer tab working together would be great. But for now, if you're unsure about where the current file is, you just look across Studio's title bar at the top. Yet again, another place you can check for the filename as well. Putting it inside the file comments still seems totally spurious. Someone mentioned that Fusedoc comments need the filename in the header comments as XML data so files can be parsed automatically in certain ways. This makes sense, but again, surely whatever parsing could work from the name of the file itself? Well, I'm ditching filenames in code comment headers for now, unless someone comes up with a good argument! - Gyrus - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: connection error
When the ODBC DSN was set up, the default database is master, so you are trying to connect to the Events table in the master database which doesn't exist.
