Subject: Break in attempts?


We've noticed the following error in our logs recurring recently:

"Error","TID=618","02/02/01","22:04:23","24.114.162.188","","Invalid Request
of CFDOCS\EXAMPLEAPP\EMAIL\APPLICATION.CFM File You have requested a
template with the name APPLICATION.CFM or ONREQUESTEND.CFM. These file names
are reserved by the ColdFusion engine for the specification of application
level settings and therefore cannot be directly requested from a web
client.If you are creating a template which is intended for direct access by
end users you should use a name other than APPLICATION.CFM or
ONREQUESTEND.CFM."

I remember reading about the above applications allowing hackers to change
data sources and such.  Does anybody have any more information?  Or perhaps
some remedies?

Cheers,
Jon
