Adobe has released security bulletin to address critical vulnerabilities for ColdFusion 8, 8.0.1 and 9 (Windows, Mac and Unix). The vulnerabilities could lead to cross-site scripting and information disclosure. Update now!

Today I was trying to post YouTube video code with another blog, but got object html tag replaced with InvalidTag string. After googling a bit following solution comes through: set scriptprotect="none" with your cfapplication tag to disable Global Script Protection which is enabled by default in your CFMX server. Another way to disable this option is to use CF Admin.

More information on this issue available at Adobe LiveDocs.

Source code of error page had details of the error commented out — "Form entries incomplete or invalid". ( read more on Variables Naming Conflict )
