The vulnerability is with IIS. Below is a link to the MS site talking about
it.

Hi Bert,
Thanks for letting us know about this security hole in FuseBox.
Do you know if this "+htr" bug a feature of CF server in general or FuseBox
code in particular?
I am guessing that it is probably related to using the
thistag.generatedcontent in the <CF_BODYCONTENT> tag. But a lot of CF web
sites use this feature of CF. If so, it probably should be considered a
general CF security hole.
