NO!!! The cfobject, createobject(), cfexecute and cfregistry (windows only) provided with CF MX are not safe in a hosted environment. There exists a theoretical way of implementing them in a safe way, which would require CF MX to spawn a new OS process under a separate OS account and have that process do the required task. You would still have to set up OS accounts and set ACL's for them, but it is possible (in older CF versions OS Sandboxes actually worked that way, people on the server I run with CF 4.5 can use cfregistry).
