We are so excited to announce the general availability of the Ortus FuseGuard module for ContentBox.  FuseGuard is a software application firewall that will enhance your ContentBox installation with real-time protection.

Features in a Nutshell

Apart from the standard features of the Foundeo FuseGuard Firewall, we have exteded it with more ColdBox/ContentBox capabilities.  The firewall comes with over 15 filters to help protect against vulnerabilities such as:

  • Malicious File Uploads
  • Cross Site Scripting / XSS
  • SQL Injection
  • Session Hijacking
  • Cross Site Request Forgery
  • CRLF Injection
  • Path Traversal Attacks
  • Password Dictionary Attacks

The firewall comes embedded in a dual-performing module that will work for both ColdBox 3 applications and ContentBox Modular CMS. The module features are:

  • Automatic firewall registration in your application
  • Centralized Firewall configuration and extensibility via our module configuration
  • Registration of a new ColdBox interception point called onFuseGuardBlock that will be announced on firewall interventions
  • Ability to create interceptor response chains via ColdBox/ContentBox when the firewall blocks a request
  • Ability to register a BlockRequestHandler event to execute whenever the firewall blocks a request
  • Ability to do scope registration of the firewall in any valid ColdFusion scope
  • Access to the firewall object in the module configuration
  • FuseGuard ContentBox panel integration (Coming Soon)
  • ContentBox FuseGuard permission registration and administrative rights to the firewall (Coming Soon)

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part1 : Module Inception

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part1 : Module Inception

BoxLang has always been an extensible language. As of 1.17.0, it is a hierarchically extensible one. Every module ecosystem you have worked in is flat. You declare a list of dependencies and something outside the language, a package manager or a build tool, resolves and downloads and orders them. The language itself has no opinion about the shape of the graph. It sees a list, not a tree.

Why Migrate from ColdFusion to BoxLang? 10 Reasons to Modernize Your CFML Applications

For organizations running applications built with ColdFusion or CFML, modernization often comes with an uncomfortable question:
