Hi,

basic question but want to make sure i understand url variables! Is it possible 
for malicious code to be sent through url variables?

Basically, Some CFM files in our applications receive variables through the URL 
which are just used to do some processing if they are true.... e.g.

if url.variable 1 eq true
  do something...
end if

Would there be any need to validate whether this variable is true or false at 
the start of the page? I am thinking there isnt any need as if it isnt equal to 
true then nothing will happen anyway.

as a general rule i am only validating any url variables if they contain data 
to be placing in the database, is this right?

thanks
