A Few Thoughts
Well, it would seem the new release of WhosOnCFC has went off without a hitch. I have not had a torrent of bug reports coming in so I assume the code is fairly stable.
With the flood of SQL injection attacks aimed at ColdFusion recently, security has been a major concern of mine. I have had several voice concerns of not using CFQueryParam in the component. Since WhosOnCFC runs completely independent of databases I do not see this being a huge issue. The core of the component is an array of structures which has a function to convert the stored information into a query on the fly.
I was speaking to Joshua about security concerns this morning and he did bring up one possible exploit that could be used, but it is something I have never seen before. I intend on getting this patched up quickly and I will release the details once it is done.
