ColdFusion must protect internal cookies from being updated by hosted applications.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-62425 CF11-03-000106 SV-76915r1_rule Medium
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. Allowing developers to override global session cookie security settings is used to allow a hosted application to change the security posture of the application server. This feature may be necessary as applications are built and tested, but once in a production environment, this functionality is not necessary for daily operations and must be disabled.
