LLMs Aid Security Reviews of Legacy ColdFusion Code

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Large language models (LLMs) can assist in reviewing legacy codebases, specifically ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), to identify security vulnerabilities. This approach offers a potential shortcut for detecting issues like SQL injection and insecure direct object references that might otherwise require extensive manual review of older code. AI

IMPACT LLMs can streamline security audits for older software systems, reducing the time and cost associated with manual code reviews.

    AI-Assisted ColdFusion Code Review: Using LLMs to Catch Security Issues in Legacy CFML

    <p>Introduction<br /> Almost every long-lived ColdFusion shop has the same file somewhere: a 2,000-line .cfm page from the early 2000s that builds SQL by concatenating #url.id#, echoes form fields straight into HTML, and nobody dares touch. A full manual security review of a code…
