http://secunia.com/advisories/15050/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7
http://secunia.com/product/4984/

DESCRIPTION:
Dr_insane has discovered a vulnerability in Macromedia ColdFusion,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error as the
requested filename is insufficiently sanitised before being returned
to users in a 404 HTTP error message. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of a vulnerable site.

Example:
http://[host]/[code].cfm

The vulnerability has been confirmed in Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7.

SOLUTION:
Configure the server to use an alternative 404 error page.
