ColdFusion must log scheduled tasks.
Description
Discussion Text
Application server logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without sufficient and accurate information, a correct replay of the events cannot be determined.
Ascertaining the correct location or process within the application server where the events occurred is important during forensic analysis. To determine where an event occurred, the log data must contain data such as application components, modules, session identifiers, filenames, host names, and functionality.
ColdFusion inherently logs the location of events that take place during the normal operation of the application server, but the Executive task scheduler is not logged by default. Logging the execution of a task through the scheduler helps the administrator understand how a task was executed and also aides the administrator recognize if unauthorized scheduled tasks have been created.
