The ColdFusion 2025 zip installers available for download at https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/install-and-configure-coldfusion/coldfusion-downloads.html do not match the MD5 checksums linked from that page at https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/zipinstaller/Checksum_CF2025_.zipinstaller.txtIt looks the zip installers were updated with Update 8 but the checksums haven’t been updated.

I’m trying to activate our enterprise license on a Linux server in the CF admin portal, but got this error: errorAn error occurred while trying to encrypt or decrypt your input string: Given final block not properly padded. Such issues can arise if a bad key is used during decryption.. Any advice? Thanks,Luvian 

Adobe has released ColdFusion 2025 Update 10 and ColdFusion 2023 Update 21. The releases introduce some important advancements that reinforce a clear direction: secure-by-default behavior, tighter control, and better developer governance. Download the updatesColdFusion 2025 updates ColdFusion 2023 updatesThis update focuses heavily on addressing critical security concerns while also giving developers more control over how their applications interact with external systems, attachments, and XML processing.Security fixes and cumulative patchesBoth updates address multiple vulnerabilities that could result in arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, and security control bypass.From an operational standpoint, this update is cumulative, which means patch adoption does not require sequential upgrades. However, teams skipping prior updates should account for behavioral changes introduced in intermediate versions, especially in areas that now enforce stricter validation.Attachment handli

First of all, I have no coldfusion experience at all. So when answering or asking for coldfusion specifics, please try to keep your answer/question somewhat lightweight :)I’m trying to setup a minimal cfusion2025 image that runs on openshift. I currently have some issues with the image’s existing cfuser or the pod’s permissions.Dockerfile:FROM adobecoldfusion/coldfusion2025:latestUSER rootCOPY ./sources /appEXPOSE 8080 8500Pod logs:Skipping Configuration and Setting Wizardsed: couldn't open temporary file /opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/sedFCBEbg: Permission deniedsed: couldn't open temporary file /opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/sedMKjs1Y: Permission deniedUpdating webroot to /appConfiguring virtual directorieschown: changing ownership of '/app': Operation not permitted (os error 1)chown: changing ownership of '/app/index.cfm': Operation not permittedchown: changing ownership of '/app/test': Operation not permittedchown: changing ownership of '/app/test/cfm': Operation not permittedchown: chan

Hello! Our software company operates a commercial CMS platform called AreaENGINE and has multiple customer websites hosted on a single ColdFusion 2025 server instance.  My question is: Can a ColdFusion 2025 Standard Named User License (NUL) be used for this type of commercial service?  We'd like to know if there are any restrictions regarding the number of websites, domains, or customers hosted on a given serverso we can confirm the licensing model before launching new customer services.

Hello everybody!I am working on removing all my inline JS codes. As an exapmle I've created a simple coldfusion (CF) template with a button. In a separate javascript file I define the function which is called when the button is pressed. This function is to have an argument through which I pass a value to be displayed. test4.cfm: <cfscript> Variables.sTest = "ha-ha-ha";</cfscript><!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <title>Test4</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="script-src 'self' http://localhost:8500/TEST/JS_test4.js"> <script> var sValFromCF = <cfoutput>#Variables.sTest#</cfoutput>; </script> <script src="JS_test4.js" defer> </script> </head> <body> <INPUT TYPE="button" name="sBtn4" id="sBtn4" value="Click me4"> </body></html>JS_test4.js: <!-- Begin hiding contents from older browsersdocument.addEventListener ('DOMContentLoade

I have been trying to download 3023 and 2025 versions of ColdFusion, but have been unable to. The download link takes me to a trial form: https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/download-trial/try.html#Upon filling the form correctly and clicking the "Download" button, nothing happens. Is there another way to get the downloads?

Update 8 for CF 2025.  The link for the packages is https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/packages/hotfix-packages-cf2025-008-331874.zip. The link for the Jar seems to be update 7 https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/updates/hotfix-007-331586.jar. Should I try the packages and update 7? This is an air gapped system. Thanks!

After migration from CF2016 to CF2025 custom fonts are not used anymore in cfr reports. Replacement fonts are used instead.I configured them in the same way as I did in CF2016. They are displayed in the Server Settings -- Font Management tab.I am using CF2025 Update 8 on Windows 11.Please advise.

I have a new Windows 11 system and have just installed CF 2025 on it. At first the administrator opened properly, but today when I went back to do some more configuration, it refuses to open. Every time I try I get the same message … this site can’t be reached. The URL it is using is http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm I see the CF entry in services and it says it is running. I’m not an operating system guy so I really don’t know what to try next. I reinstalled CF but that didn’t fix it. Would appreciate some advice on what to do next.

ColdFusion 2025 update 8 delivers native AI and LLM integration with a unified multi-provider framework, Model Context Protocol support for building and consuming AI tool interfaces, vector stores and RAG for grounding AI in your own content, passwordless passkey authentication, a rebuilt VS Code extension with Linux and Docker support, AI services monitoring in PMT, and significant language improvements including native Sets, async enhancements, and Java interoperability.What’s new in ColdFusion 2025 Update 8Native AI and LLM integrationColdFusion 2025 update 8 adds first-class AI support directly into the language. You access AI providers through built-in CFML functions that integrate with your existing components and application logic — not through generic HTTP calls. A unified provider framework lets you write one set of code that works across OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google Gemini, and Ollama. Switching providers requires only a configuration change, no code refactoring. Two en

ColdFusion 2023 - download and installation linkI have had a hard drive on my server fail and have had to replace the drive. I had ColdFusion 2023 installed and running on the server along with MySQL.I have 2 critical applications that I have developed using CF 2023 and MySQL. I'm trying to find a link so as to be able to download and install CF 2023 on my server again so that I get back into the apps and get them running again.Any assistance in being able to provide a link where I can download CF 2023 will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for sending me a link where I can download CF 2023

A recent update has broken Scheduled Tasks for us.  The small Pause, Resume and Play icons work but we are not able to create a new Scheduled Task or Edit an existing one.  We have CF 2023.0.19.330899 on both local and live servers and does this on both.  It also does this on CF  11,0,19,314546.   Whenever a new task schedule is attempted, or edit an existing one, after hitting the “Submit” button on the form, the browser says “Server sent back an empty page”.  I have tried in different browsers and it gives same results.  Can you help?

The syntax highlighting is one of the most important features for IDEs because they tell coders if there are problems with the code. I'm currently using version 1.0.701 and noticed an annoying problem whenever the “#” is found on the script. CF Builder assumes that every time it encounters a #, it is part of a variable evaluation, which is commonly used in CF tag attributes or between <cfoutput> tags. But in html, the # is used such as in css settings for colour. As a result, we get problems like these:  In this example above, the # is used properly, and is part of standard html that is not parsed by the CF server. Adding a second # tricks CF Builder into thinking that the # has been escaped:  But this is wrong and will cause problems because the final html code that is sent to the end user's browser will contain two #s. The only way to fix the problem is additional CF code:​​​​But this is an inefficient way of handling things. We shouldn't need to nest html tags within <cfout

I recently installed ColdFusion 2023 Update 18 and though the installation log says there was only 1 non-fatal error, I am seeing some weird behavior in my web app. The login to my web application validates the user credentials and then redirects to the login page (302 found).However, I want to rule out any procedural errors in the update process first.As per the “Install the Update in Offline Mode Manually” from https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2023-update-18.htmlDownload the hotfix installer from the link. - No issues. Download the packages zip file from this link and extract its contents to a location accessible to all ColdFusion server instances.I have only one instance, cfusion.  I downloaded the packages.zip folder to a directory called U18 in /opt/cf2023cloud/ Update "packagesurl" in cfusion/lib/neo_updates.xml of cfusion and all its child instances to point to <InstallerRepositoryUnzippedPath>/bundles/bundlesdependency.json present inside the downloaded fo

Environment:- ColdFusion 2023 Enterprise- Development Environment- No HBSS- No Internet AccessIssue Description:We recently attempted to install Update 18 on our development environment. Unlike previous patch installations, the usual steps of stopping the ColdFusion service, clearing the Felix-cache, and restarting did not resolve the issue. Additionally, we downloaded the bundle repo from Adobe, cleared the bundles directory, and reinstalled all components from the `cpfm`, but the problem persisted.Given that this is a virtual machine, we reverted to a snapshot running Update 17, which resolved the issue temporarily. However, we are concerned about the root cause and would like to address it to avoid future complications.Error Details:Here is a sampling of the errors found in the `exception.log`:```"Error","pool-56-thread-1","01/30/26","12:33:51","","URI does not specify a valid host name: E:/path/to/bundles/repo/ib6coreutil-1.3.jar"org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException: URI

We’re updating an app from CF2021 to CF2025 but are running into issues with Query of Queries behavior changes and I haven’t seen them mentioned in any of the release documentation.Aggregate functions now return a row if there is no group by clause and the where condition fails.<cfset foo = queryNew( "id,total", "integer,integer", [ { id = 1, total = 25 }, { id = 2, total = 50 }, { id = 3, total = 100 } ])><cfquery name="bar" dbtype="query"> select sum(total) total from foo where id = 20</cfquery><cfdump var=#foo# /><cfdump var=#bar# />The above is an example where the dump of #bar# will have 0 rows in CF2023 and below and will have 1 row in CF2025 with the value being an empty string. If `group by id` is added, all versions return 0 rows.Values that are NULL the database are no longer treated as NULLs and are treated as empty strings instead.<cfset foo = queryNew( "id,total", "integer,varchar", [ { id = 1 }, { id = 2, total = 50 }, { id = 3, tot

I tried to submit a trouble-ticket on the tracker.adobe.com, but I’m getting a 500 error.  Yay.Does anyone have any information on ColdFusion 2023 Enterprise and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable? This specific redistributable has reached End of Life (EOL) and is no longer supported or patched by Microsoft.  Utilizing EOL software directly violates Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Department of Navy cybersecurity requirements.  This outdated dependency unnecessarily increases the system’s attack surface area.

Hi All,We are migrating from Cf2021 to CF2025.One issue is that QoQ resuts shows empty string when is not data.<cfscript> tempQuery = queryNew("id,name,amt", "integer,varchar,double"); QueryAddRow(tempQuery); QuerySetCell(tempQuery, "id", 1); QuerySetCell(tempQuery, "name", "Marco"); QuerySetCell(tempQuery, "amt", 16); QueryAddRow(tempQuery); QuerySetCell(tempQuery, "id", 2); QuerySetCell(tempQuery, "name", "Troy"); QuerySetCell(tempQuery, "amt", 7); result = queryExecute( "SELECT SUM(amt) AS cnt FROM tempQuery", {}, {dbtype="query"} ); writeDump(result); writeDump(result.recordcount()); result = queryExecute( "SELECT SUM(amt) AS cnt FROM tempQuery where id = 3", {}, {dbtype="query"} ); writeDump(result); writeDump(result.recordcount());</cfscript>ResultThe record count now is 1 for empty QoQ. It shoud be zero.Any solution on this issue?Thanks,JFB

my linter thinks there is an invalid token here, but there isn’tTL;DR: The red squiggle underline is caused, in some way, by the CF Builder extension. It’s wrong, the code and the file are fine, and I want it to go away. Anyone know how to make it go away?Details:I installed this extension a few weeks ago, and I didn’t notice (or I ignored) it at the time, but I started getting these red-squiggle notifications on *some* javascript / JSON files. I finally tried narrowing down the problem today, and after blaming it on eslint for a little while, and/or various rules in my project’s `eslintrc.json` file, I disabled all extensions and the error went away.So I used vsCode’s “Extension Bisector” to find the culprit. I didn’t know this existed till today. Basically it starts by disabling all extensions and reloading your window, and asks you if you can reproduce the problem. You say yes/no, and then it reloads again with some extensions enabled. You repeat the process several times until fina

Is there a way to adjust the formatting settings used by the vsCode ColdFusion Builder extension? I installed the extension mainly to try to take advantage of its code formatting options. Unfortunately the formatting does not seem to obey my vsCode preferences (tab indentation, equal to 2 spaces). It also does almost no formatting of html inside a cfoutput block (all html tags are stacked evenly). Does anyone know if there’s a way to adjust the formatting settings? I would like to recommend this to our team of several developers, as a standard tool for formatting our files.
