Re: New Security Issue with CF
I agree. It is the insertion method I am intrigued by. It is that type of non linear thinking that we as developers use to create elegant solutions. The tool is ugly, and not that special, but the insertion method is clever. What I don't understand is why adobe would allow something like the scheduler to be called without authentication. Seems like a glaring oversight to me.

RE: New Security Issue with CF
I have locked down the default /CFIDE/administrator and /CFIDE/adminapi/ folder in /inetpub/; I also locked down the virtual /CFIDE/ folders that I created for my various ColdFusion web sites. Only 127.0.0.1 can access them now. After reading Charlie's posts, I think this is a good time to review the CF 9 lockdown guide as well. I downloaded and reviewed the h.cfm file -- yeah, it is pretty clever. This might sound like a basic question, but how did that hacker place the h.cfm file in /CFIDE/ to begin with? By utilizing tools that already existed in /CFIDE/?

Re: New Security Issue with CF
Don't get me wrong, I detest hackers and their exploits, but i think the way this one works quite ingenious. My server did get hit, but after reviewing the log files and checking for changes, I don't think they did anything. I am thankful for that, cause they could have done some major damage. We migrated to a virtual environment and from CF7 to CF9 a few months ago. Ironically, we were protected under CF7, but I neglected to fully lock down the server after we migrated. Live an learn. I am surprised there has not been more activity on this considering the severity of the possible compromise.

Re: New Security Issue with CF
Thanks. I saw that afterwards. I was freaking out a bit there. Still am. :( I have gone through the logs on that server (windows 2008 R2 server running IIS7.5 and CF9.02) and the hacker loaded his script 1 time each on 15 different sites. They all look like this: 2013-01-02 00:15:15 192.168.55.129 GET /CFIDE/h.cfm - 80 - 178.170.124.210 python-requests/0.14.2+CPython/2.7.3+Linux/3.2.0-32-generic 200 0 0 171 But on 3 of the sites, he also loaded: help,cfm, administrator.cfc, mappings.cfm, scheduleedit.cfm, and scheduletasks.cfm but there are no scheduled tasks showing in the administrator. I checked the CF Administrator log and found nothing. Fortunately, he missed the one site (none of his crap shows up in its logs) where there was sensitive information, so assuming he could not traverse directories, I am hoping I am ok there. I ran his file (after renaming it), and none of my datasources showed up (it was an empty ). I am hoping I am good there too. It looks like his script it needs to be driven by a human (a lot of it is a form). So I am hoping that the one hit I see on most of those sites is an automated hit to see if the script is there, then he was going to come around later and do his damage -- and he never did. Wishful thinking right? I don't see any other signs of trouble anywhere, but am very worried that something bad has happened that I have just not stumbled on yet. Any suggestions or advice? Any place else I should be looking? Am I fooling my self to think I got lucky here? I have shut down CF on that server and am now searching all other servers for h.cfm. So far nothing. Tomorrow, I will completely wipe that server and reload it. -RR On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 10:16 PM, Raymond Camden wrote: > > Charlie posted an update: > > http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2013/1/2/Part2_serious_security_threat > > > On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 PM, Robert Rhodes wrote: > > > > > Oh man I just looked and one of my standby servers got hit with this. > > Somehow we forgot to patch that one.

RE: New Security Issue with CF
I am reading up on Charlie's blog posts. (Thank you, Charlie.) My ColdFusion 9.0.2 server was hit with this. I found h.cfm in /CFIDE/ with file date 12/24/2012. I deleted it. No new scheduled tasks were set in my CF Admin. I use IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008. Can someone review the exact steps needed to lock down the /CFIDE/ directory, yet make /CFIDE/scripts/ available for use by ColdFusion? All of my web sites and databases seem unaltered. But I am obviously a nervous wreck about this new security hole.

Re: New Security Issue with CF
Oh man I just looked and one of my standby servers got hit with this. Somehow we forgot to patch that one. It had a bunch of sites on it, but none of them were actually live (because it was a standby server). So I have questions. Does anyone know that this thing does? I can just wipe this box and reload it, but it was on the network with our other windows servers (some of which are SQL database servers). Is it possible this hacker could have accessed other other servers through this hack? Do we know the steps yet to clean up the mess? Any idea where to look for damage that the hacker has caused? I am a little lost here. :( -RR On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 3:52 PM, Russ Michaels wrote: > > and also read the following article. > > http://www.michaels.me.uk/post.cfm/securing-your-coldfusionmx-installation-on-windows > > > On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 7:47 PM, Larry Lyons wrote: > > > > > A new CF security issue was just discovered a few days ago.

Thanks for posting. I thought I had my stuff locked down pretty well but I screwed up and left a door open. The nature of this is almost unbelievably nasty. -- --m@Robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353732 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
