Rather than detail the updates as I have in the past, I will for now leave this at simply announcing the update and pointing you to Adobe's several resources with more on the updates. The first 3 are community resources where other folks may (over time) share feedback or observations about the update(s), which point to the last 2 (the update technotes) and more:

• Adobe CF Forum post on the update
• Adobe CF Portal post on the update
• Adobe post on CFML Slack Channel
• CF2025 update 13 tech note
• CF2023 update 24 tech note

Each of the resources link to still more info about the CF updates in general and about this most recent one in particular, including downloads for the update jar file and packages zip file (for those who may need those for command-line or offline updates) as well as the APSB offering security vuln details.

As has been the case in recent updates, note that the update technotes indicate some changes arising from the new security protections as well as available mitigation options.

We must balance the urgency of the update (for the security protections) against the potential changes in compatibility, along with the available mitigations (which would re-open a door that Adobe is closing in this update). Sadly, there's never enough detail in the information provided to assess that on this first day. Time will tell.

Experience so far...

FWIW I have not seen any discussions of update issues today in the community resources above.

If I learn of any significant ramifications of this update, I may offer comments below, or an update to this post, or potentially even a new post.

I can say that I have applied the update on both versions, on multiple machines and different OS's, without any trouble during the update. I've also confirmed that the downloadable zip of packages offers the updated packages indicated in each update technote (there have been recent occasions where the zip did NOT include the updated packages).

Getting help, from me or others

As always, if you have need of assistance in applying or dealing with the ramifications of the update, note first that you can use those community resources above to seek help publicly.

Or I am available for remote screenshare consulting. I can usually solve most update-related problems very quickly, since I help so many people with them in each update (whether publicly or directly). See carehart.org/consulting for more on my rates, approach, satisfaction guarantee, online calendar, and more.
