Cold Fusion web sites getting compromised
http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=6715&rss

It appears that the attackers are exploiting web sites which have older installations of some Cold Fusion applications. These applications have vulnerable installations of FCKEditor, which is a very popular HTML text editor, or CKFinder, which is an Ajax file manager. The vulnerable installations allow the attackers to upload ASP or Cold Fusion shells which further allow them to take complete control over the server.
