I'd start with the CF 9 Lockdown Guide - while it doesn't really talk about secure programming specifically, it does give you an idea of the range and functionality of vulnerabilities. That is really well written, and I think every CF developer and server administrator should read it. Beyond that, Jason Dean's site, http://www.12robots.com/, has a lot of security info that's specific to CF. There's also the OWASP CF resources page: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/ColdFusion_Security_Resources Finally, though, I would recommend that you not limit yourself to CF-specific resources. There are lots of general resources out there, and it's very easy to draw the conclusions you need from them. > By the way Figleaf is where I took my ColdFusion training way back when CF3 > was the latest and greatest.
