Description
ColdFusion is installed with sample data services, gateway services, and collections. These can be used in a development environment to learn how to use and develop applications and services, but these samples are not tested and patched for security issues. Allowing them to be available on a production system provides a gateway to an attacker to the application server and to those systems connected to ColdFusion. To alleviate this issue, sample code and services must be deleted.
