index.cfm being copied from site root to cf web root

2013-07-18 Thread David Phelan

I have an odd issue occurring on my server.  Occasionally, the index.cfm file 
from the root of my web site is being copied over to the web root in the CF 
directory.  Once that happens, CF will then attempt to execute that index.cfm 
file which, of course, throws an error because all of the references are 
broken.  Has anyone ever seen this?  Any idea how to correct it?

CF MX 7
IIS 6
Windows 2003 R2 SP2

I very much doubt that CF is doing this all by itself. It's much more
likely that you have some code on your machine that is doing this.

I'm with Dave. I'd look for some kind of file  code - maybe even cf - that's
not too careful with paths. I'd also check your cache real paths attribute
in the cf admin.
Not sure why I think so but it may be fooling some of your code with regard
to where files live. And of course you should think about whether you have
been exploited in some way.
