Secunia

Some vulnerabilities and a weakness have been reported in Adobe ColdFusion, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed via CGI variables is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

NOTE: This affects only ColdFusion with Windows IIS 6 installations.

2) An unspecified error can be exploited to bypass the cross-site scripting protection for certain ColdFusion applications, where "Application.cfm" or "Application.cfc" contains the setEncoding function.

3) A weakness is caused due to failed log-in attempts to the admin interface not being logged.
