Read the docs:

Copied here for the lazy people :)

Evaluating unscoped variables

If you use a variable name without a scope prefix, ColdFusion checks
the scopes in the following order to find the variable:

   1. Function local (UDFs and CFCs only)
   2. Arguments
   3. Variables (local scope)
   4. CGI
   5. Cffile
   6. URL
   7. Form
   8. Cookie
   9. Client
