Thanks Dean,

We've' been doing similar things with regular expressions and home
grown tools. I was just surprised how difficult (currently impossible
but perhaps Fortify will change that) it is to find a commercial tool
that supports CF considering how prevalent it is.

Contrary to information I've received from several list members,
neither SPIDynamics nor OunceLabs support it.

IIRC, Fortify has a CF module that you can use.

If you don't have access to Fortify a couple of quick regexes will
give you a lot of insight.  The easy ones are looking for unsafe
functions, such as preserveSingleQuotes(), the harder ones look for
queries which don't use CFQUERYPARAM or unsanitized output.  Back in
2003/2004 I wrote a parser in Perl to help automate some of the more
boring code review tasks in CF.  Unfortunately, the source was left
with my previous employer and never released as planned.  Was it
perfect?  Heck no.  Did it help catch a lot of bugs that would have
otherwise been missed?  Absolutely.

It's been reported that 75% of websites are vulnerable to attack. That's because hackers know to exploit weaknesses in web applications. Traditional approaches to securing these assets no longer apply. Download the "Addressing Challenges in Application Security" whitepaper today, and see for yourself.
