Solving a new problem as of CF2023 update 25 that can cause CF to not start

If you've suffered the problem of CF not starting since CF2023 update 25--because you're on Windows and have implemented FusionReactor or another monitor, in this post I offer first an explanation of the root cause problem (a bug, which Adobe will need to fix) and then an unobvious but effective workaround.

Announcing ColdFusion updates of Sep 23 2026 - for CF2023 only

Adobe has released another update today, Sept 23 2026, though this time it's only for CF2023 (update 25). There is NO update today for CF2025 (whose latest is update 13 from earlier this month).

And unlike other recent updates, this one has no Adobe Security Bulletin associated with it, so not technically a "security" update, although among its changes are underlying Java library upgrades that are security-related. Mostly the update is about those library upgrades and many bug fixes. To quote the technote, the update "includes extensive OEM library upgrades, enhancements to Query-of-Queries, query metadata handling, and the spread operator, along with fixes across ColdFusion Administrator, SFTP, Solr, MongoDB, SendGrid, scheduled tasks, GraphQL, Redis configuration, and other core and package functionality."

Most important (and not clear from the technote), many of those changes are in fact the same ones that had been rolled into CF2025's update 8 back in June--which was itself an update to ONLY that version of CF. (While that update also added AI and many other changes to CF2025, this update does NOT add all those things to CF2023.)

As with other recent updates, these "resolve critical, important, and moderate vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution, arbitrary file system read, privilege escalation, security feature bypass, and memory exposure."
