I think it sounds like one developer was trying to destroy your search
ranking by giving googlebot to an obvious spam page.  (don't they know
about robots.txt?) Too bad for you guys, google now makes a web browser,
and thus your problem. No standard exploit will inject CFML into a page
unless you're dynamically generating cfm files, then maybe it was a cheap
XSS hack that found its way into a really lucky spot - that still doesn't
explain why the XSS would be written in CFML. Just take out the evil code,
apologize for all of your previous developers and move on.

I mean, unless you can prove who did it. Source control (like Git) would do
that. For me, this would be a no-brainer, I can see exactly who committed
what.
