Well there u have the generic problem with JAVA and thus Coldfusion, it is
just not intended for shared hosting. Too many holes.
If you have CreateObject() enabled, you can also kiss your security goodbye,
but you can't really get away with disabling ut as too many people need it.

It was a problem on my old HMS server, which allowed JSP to be executed and
didn't have any JSP security mechanism. I was able to read the source code
of every site on the server and therefore get any DSN password that wasn't
in the CF Admin.

That's why I moved to a new server on which JSP is better managed (via
Resin).
