ColdFusion Bug Introduced In Newest Update
UPDATE: Adobe has released updates for the last update.
- ColdFusion 11 Update 17 was released that supersedes Update 16.
- ColdFusion 2016 Update 9 that supersedes Update 8.
Many of us have been testing these new updates including myself and so far they look good. We have not heard any news on any additional updates for ColdFusion 2018
alert everyone that there is a critical bug that was introduced with yesterdays updates for ColdFusion 2018, ColdFusion 2016, and ColdFusion 11. Adobe is very actively working on a resolution. The bug is simply this, in cfscript queryExecute() is broken. This is the bug report.
Here is an example of what is no longer working. Example one is a cfscript based CFC file.
{
public query function getRoles() {
var userRoles ='';
var sql = "SELECT roleId, roleName FROM userRole ORDER BY roleID";
userRoles = queryExecute(sql);
return userRoles;
}
}
Example two is a cfscript block in a CFML file.
userRoles = '';
sql = "SELECT roleId, roleName FROM userRole ORDER BY roleID";
userRoles = queryExecute(sql);
writeDump(userRoles);
</cfscript>
The code causes a Java error at the queryExecute() statement. Many of us are working with Adobe to provide test cases, stack traces, and testing hot fixes in order to get this resolved as fast as possible. Until there is a fix, if your application is using cfscript based queries, you will want to hold off on the update.

The Adobe ColdFusion team has a Hot Fix for this issue. They are trying to figure out how/if to release the fix? Confusing to me. If you are in a critical spot with this contact cfinstal@adobe.com -
If this bug wasn't enough, a second bug was found as well. The official update DELETES your ColdFusion scheduled tasks. See this bug report. https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4204021

There are way too many bugs this update. So many that I have to recommend DO NOT apply this update to any ColdFusion 11, ColdFusion 2016, or ColdFusion 2018 servers. The honorable Pete Freitag has an additional post covering all the issues found so far. https://www.petefreitag.com/item/858.cfm
