Inspiration
Applying security concerns to our web
applications is paramount.
Every application will need it.
Many forms of application security and many
levels.

4.
What is cbSecurity?
https://coldbox-

5.
Module Composition

6.
What is needed for security?
✴ Validates user credentials
✴ Logs them in and out
✴ Tracks their security in session,
custom storage, or none.
✴ Validates Permissions
✴ Validates Roles
✴ Validates nothing 😜

7.
What is needed for security?
✴ Use ANY auth service: IAuthenticationService
✴ Includes cbauth
✴ Login/Logout
✴ Session Tracking in session/request/cache
✴ You Provide a user service: IUserService
✴ You Provide a user object: IAuthUser
✴ Permission and Role Based
✴ Interfaces:
✴ IAuthUser - Roles and Permissions
✴ IJwtSubject - Jwt Scopes, etc.

8.
Security Firewall
1. What do we secure?
1. Events
2. URIs
2. How do we secure?
1. Security Rules
2. Handler + Action Annotations
3. JWT Headers
4. cbSecurity explicit methods
3. Who validates?

9.
Who Validates? ➡ Validators
V

10.
Validators
✴ Configured globally or per-module
✴ Determine the type of authentication/authorization services to use
✴ The firewall calls the validator for a 👍 or 👎
✴ Core Validators
✴ Auth : role/permission-based security via IAuthService and IAuthUser
interfaces
✴ CFML : Leverages CFML cflogin/cflogout features
✴ Basic Auth : Prompts users for credentials using HTTP Basic Auth
✴ JWT Validator : Checks headers for a JWT token and refresh token
✴ Custom Validators: ISecurityValidator

Security Rules

12.
Security Rules
✴ Rules
✴ are evaluated from top to bottom (Order is important)
✴ secure incoming events/urls via regex patterns
✴ can have white-listed patterns
✴ can have roles and permissions
✴ can have ip, host header restrictions
✴ can be global or per-module
✴ can come from:
✴ Config Inline
✴ Database
✴ XML, JSON
✴ Object Calls

13.
Security Rules

14.
Security Rule Actions
✴ Each rule determines what action to occur if the request is not valid:
✴ Redirect to another event/URL
✴ Override the incoming event to another event
✴ Block the request with a 401 Not Authorized
✴ If there is no action in the rule, what happens?
✴ Cascades to module settings ➡ global settings
✴ defaultAuthenticationAction
✴ invalidAuthenticationEvent
✴ defaultAuthorizationAction
✴ invalidAuthorizationEvent

15.
Security Rule

16.
Handler Annotation Security
✴ Cascading Security
✴ Component
✴ Access to all actions
✴ Actions
✴ Specific action security
✴ Secure Annotation Value
✴ Nothing - Authenticated
✴ List - Authorizations

17.
Security Rule

18.
Secured URL
✴ cbSecurity stores & flashes the incoming URL
✴ rc._securedURL
✴ Better login experiences

19.
cbSecurity Model
✴ Security Helper Object
✴ Fluent constructs
✴ cbsecure() mixin (handlers/layouts/views/interceptors)
✴ Injection @cbsecurity (models)
✴ Different Types of Methods:
✴ Authentication: Verify if logged in, logout, authenticate
✴ Authorization Contexts: Fluent secure block
✴ Blocking: Throw a NotAuthorized exception
✴ Secure Views: Secure rendering of views
✴ Utility: Generating passwords, checking ip, hostnames, etc
✴ Verification: Verify permissions, etc

20.
cbSecurity - Authentication Methods
getAuthService()
getUserService()
authenticate( username, password )
getUser()
isLoggedIn()
logout()

21.
cbSecurity - Authorization Context Methods
when( permissions, success, fail )
whenAll( permissions, success, fail )
whenNone( permissions, success, fail )

22.
cbSecurity - Blocking Methods
secure( permissions, [message] )
secureAll( permissions, [message] )
secureNone( permissions, [message] )
secureSameUser( user, [message])
secureWhen( context, [errorMessage] )
If context = true, then throw a NotAuthorized exception

23.
cbSecurity - Secure Views Methods
secureView( permissions, successView, failView )

24.
cbSecurity - Utility Methods
createPassword( length:32, letters:true, numbers:true, symbols:true )
getRealIP( trustUpstream:true )
getRealHost( trustUpstream:true )

25.
cbSecurity - Verification Methods
has( permissions ):boolean
all( permissions ):boolean
none( permissions ):boolean
sameUser( user ):boolean

26.
Security Visualizer

27.
Security Visualizer
✴ Visualize all configuration settings
✴ Firewall activity
✴ Firewall rules simulator
✴ Security Headers
✴ Can also be secured

28.
Firewall Logs
✴ Activate firewall logging
✴ Firewall > logs

29.
✴ Collection of security best
practices
✴ Highly configurable
✴ Several on by default
Security Headers

CSRF
Cross-Site Request Forgery

csrfField()
csrfRotate()
CSRF
Cross-Site Request Forgery
✴ Leverages the cbcsrf module
✴ Generate & validate tokens
✴ Highly configurable

37.
Base Claims
✴ Issuer (iss) - The issuer of the token (defaults to the application's base URL)
✴ Issued At (iat) - When the token was issued (unix timestamp)
✴ Subject (sub) - This holds the identifier for the token (defaults to user id)
✴ Expiration time (exp) - The token expiry date (unix timestamp)
✴ Unique ID (jti) - A unique identifier for the token (md5 of the sub and iat claims)
✴ Scopes (scope) - A space-delimited string of scopes attached to the token
✴ Refresh Token (cbsecurity_refresh) - If you use refresh tokens, this custom
claim will be added to the payload.
