My goodness, that's ridiculous. If you run a programmer's code without auditing every line of source code, you are in essence trusting that programmer. I could just as easily slip a back door into code that uses browser authentication as I could into code that uses forms-based authentication, I think. Keep in mind that, by default, CF code runs as SYSTEM on Windows servers.
