We are very pleased to announce the new Ortus FuseGuard Module for securing ColdBox applications against malicious attacks.  FuseGuard is a web application firewall written by the smart people at Foundeo.  What we've done is wrapped up the functionality of the firewall into a portable ColdBox module and added additional hooks to let you easily tie it into your application.  

Ortus FuseGuard Module

Installation is easy: just drop the module into the "modules" folder and reinit your application.  You can configure the firewall easily and the web-based manager can be deployed alongside the firewall, or in another private application on the same server.  This module also works for ContentBox apps and we have some slick features coming including tying the web manager into your ContentBox authentication for single sign-on.

The Ortus FuseGuard module is available now on our Ortus store.  It comes with the newly released FuseGuard 2.4 engine baked in, so there's no additional licenses for you to get.  Please read about it here on our product page.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part 4 : WriteDump Enhanced!

You call writeDump() on an ORM entity or a very rich class graph . The browser locks up. Thirty seconds later you get a page with forty thousand rows on it, you scroll for a while, you give up, and you go edit your code to dump a sub-key instead. Or worse, you crash the server.

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

LLM applications face a class of attack traditional input validation was never built for: prompt injection. An attacker embeds instructions in user input, a retrieved document, a web page your tool fetched, or an MCP result, trying to override your system prompt, exfiltrate data, or hijack a tool call. BoxLang AI 3.4.0 ships four layered, configurable defenses against exactly this, plus one more that's on unconditionally.
