Macromedia ColdFusion MX Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
It has been reported that Macromedia ColdFusion MX may be prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper handling of error messages generated by the underlying database. This problem may be exploited by an attacker to construct a malicious link containing HTML or script code that may be rendered in a user's browser upon visiting that link. If successful, an attacker may obtain access to cookie-based authentication credentials that may lead to other attacks.
Mitigation:
Ensure that error messages generated by the underlying database are properly sanitized before being displayed to the user.
