Searches for the existence of /cfide/administrator/index.cfm Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment A denial of service vulnerability exists within the Allaire ColdFusion web application server (version 4.5.1 and earlier) which permits an attacker to overwhelm the web server and deny legitimate web page requests. By downloading and altering the login HTML form a possible hacker can send overly large passwords (>40,0000 chars) to the server, causing it to stop responding. Solution: Use HTTP basic authentication to restrict access to this page or remove it entirely if remote administration is not a requirement. A patch should be available from allaire - www.allaire.com..
