Description
Application servers provide a myriad of differing processes, features, and functionalities. Some of these processes may be deemed to be unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access allows LiveCycle Data Services ES to connect to the ColdFusion server through RMI and use CFCs to read and update data that supports a Flex application. If this feature is not needed for hosted applications and is enabled, an attacker could use this feature to compromise the ColdFusion server.
