HTTP: Adobe ColdFusion Environment Variable Overwrite Attempt
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in Adobe ColdFusion. An attacker can send a crafted request which can overwrite ColdFusion environment variables, leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Data Injection, and other attacks. This signature should only be used to examine traffic going to ColdFusion HTTP servers.
