>> app_globals.cfm???

it isn't because it is a certain template - just that it is a template... it
does the EXACT same thing with app_globals.cfm....

Wow, that's ugly.  You don't even need to do the refresh, just view the
source of the page and it is right there.  It only seems to work if you know
the directory where application.cfm exists.  If you are operating with a
single application.cfm you can move it up one directory, outside of the web
root, and it doesn't work.  It also doesn't appear to work with other .cfm
files.

        Don't use application.cfm - use app_globals.cfm.  :)

Hi all,

One of my hosting clients has just made me aware of this major security
problem and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to eliminate it?

Try calling the application.cfm template on any CF site with +.htr appended
to the end of the url. You'll first see a blank page. Now hit refresh/reload
and you'll see the full code of said application.cfm

e.g. http://www.support.alllaire.com/application.cfm+.htr

Can someone please tell me there is a patch for this. It seems to happen on
all CFserver versions 4.x + running IS4.0 with Service pack 5

Dave
