Maybe they'll do something about it now. Their most recent position was that 
they would fix it in CF9. Too late...

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] CF Attacks in the wild

FYI http://bit.ly/dUdvv

"There have been a high number of Cold Fusion web sites being compromised in 
last 24 hours. We received several e-mails about this.

It appears that the attackers are exploiting web sites which have older 
installations of some Cold Fusion applications. These applications have 
vulnerable installations of FCKEditor, which is a very popular HTML text 
editor, or CKFinder, which is an Ajax file manager. The vulnerable 
installations allow the attackers to upload ASP or Cold Fusion shells which 
further allow them to take complete control over the server."

I have known about this for a few months now, but had to be silent on it.  
Adobe hasn't patched it (yet) but the attacks are in the wild...
