News and Announcements

Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Mura CMS and Masa CMS (CVE-2022-47003 and CVE-2022-47002)

Mura CMS is a popular content management system written in ColdFusion/CFML. While it was originally a commercial open source product, it was re-licensed as a closed source application with the release of Mura CMS v10 in 2020. There are forked open source projects based on the last open source release of Mura CMS, including Masa CMS - which is actively maintained.

Multiple versions of Mura CMS and Masa CMS contain an authentication bypass vulnerability that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to login as any Site Member or System User.

Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week

3/1/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Transcluding A Form Into A Turbo Frame Using Hotwire And Lucee CFML
In the Hotwire framework, we can use Turbo Frames to create small, independent, dynamic areas of a page. Turbo Frames can be used for things like lazy-loading user-specific content for better caching and including (or "transcluding") forms from one page into another page. This latter concept - transcluding forms - can unlock a lot of different user experiences. But, rendering a form inside a Turbo Frame can make post-submission redirections more complicated. Fortunately, I recently learned about creating custom Turbo Stream actions, which can help us bridge the redirection gap in our ColdFusion applications.

3/2/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - The User Experience (UX) Of Disabled Form Buttons
By default, form buttons aren't disabled. When you render a form, everything "just works". That is, until, a web developer decides to get "clever" and starts disabling buttons, pending some desired form state. Unfortunately, many developers are not quite as clever as they think they are; and, buttons often remain disabled even when a form has been completed filled-out. This obviously leads to a terrible user experience (UX).

3/2/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Dynamically Adding Stimulus Controllers To Static Content Using Hotwire And Lucee CFML
As I'm digging into the Hotwire framework, I'm trying to keep an eye on how I might eventually convert this ColdFusion blog over to using it. And, one of the things that I currently have to contend with (on this blog) is progressively enhancing the "static content" within each blog post (ex, resizing code-blocks on mouseenter). The "Stimulus way" seeks to create small, targeted controllers instead of large, over-reaching "page" controllers. As such, I wanted to see if I can dynamically attach Stimulus Controllers to targeted elements within my static content.

3/4/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Rendering A Persistent Dismissible Banner Using Hotwire And Lucee CFML
When operating a Single Page Application (SPA) in Angular, I will often need to render a persistent banner across the top of page, alerting the user to some sort of state change or a call-to-action (CTA). Now that I know that Hotwire can define persistent Turbo Frames; and, that we can use custom Turbo Stream actions to visit those Turbo Frames; I wanted to see if I could use a persistent frame to render a dismissible banner in a Hotwire-enhanced ColdFusion application.

3/7/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Styling Submit Buttons During Form Submission With Hotwire And Lucee CFML
When you submit a form in a Hotwire enhanced ColdFusion application, several things happen: The progress bar may be rendered if the request takes a while; the targeted submit button will be disabled (in order to prevent double-submissions); and, as of the Turbo v7.3.0 release, you can now alter the innerHTML of the targeted submit button while the form is being processed. Since I haven't explored these latter behaviors yet, I wanted to put together a quick demo using Lucee CFML.
