Absolutely there is a danger. Just off the top of my head I can think of a
few. These may not be best practice but:

1. If you put the username and password in a CFQUERY they can see that (and
anything else).
2. If you just hard code a password or IP range to be blocked, or other
information that should not be seen.
3. If you have a client you do work for THEY have copyright to the code.
They paid for it, it is theirs.
4. Any CF comments become visible. You may be explaining a business process
and it gets read by someone who does not need to know about it.

Because you may have a bunch of people coding, you cannot anticipate what
may or may not be put in the code.
