Did you recently apply a hotfix, as there is one that fixes an issue with
the cross site scripting, perhaps this wa sthe issue.

Subject: CFMX and cross-site scripting attack?

Hi,

We have 3 development servers and 3 production servers on 3 different
networks.  We deployed an application across all 6 servers.  All of them
have the "enable global script protection" setting in CFAdmin checked.
Everything was working great.  Suddenly today, the app on one of the
production server changed <script to <INVALIDTAG.  It took us a while to
figure out that this is CFMX 7 feature to prevent cross-site scripting
attack.  To disable, we can either uncheck the global setting in CFAdmin or
add a scriptprotect attribute to the cfapplication tag.

Now the question is why do all 6 servers have this global setting checked,
but only one server did this, and it didn't do it to start with.  More than
that, we have two instances on this server, and only one instance did this.
So it looks like the global setting alone doesn't do it.  There is something
else that triggers the change.  Could it be this and a combination of some
settings in the IIS?  I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shed
some lights on it for me.
Thank you.

Johnny
