The ColdFusion Administrator Console must be hosted in a management sandbox.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

Description
ColdFusion consists of the Administrator Console and hosted applications. By separating the Administrator Console from hosted applications, the user must authenticate as a privileged user to the Administrator Console before being presented with management functionality. This prevents non-privileged users from having visibility to functions not available to the user. By limiting visibility, a compromised non-privileged account does not offer information to the attacker to functionality and information needed to further the attack on the application server. By hosting the Administrator Console within its own sandbox from other hosted applications, the administrative objects are protected from reuse and modification by the other hosted applications.
