Description
The scripts directory contains common javascript code that may be used by the hosted applications. This code is offered to help the developer with common data controls and functions aiding in the quick development of applications. Unfortunately, this code has also been known to have security vulnerabilities. Because of this, many of the ColdFusion hacking tools look for this directory in the default location searching for files with known vulnerabilities. By moving the directory to a non-default location, the hacking tools are unable to find the directory making it more difficult for the attacker.
