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.

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).
