We disable the CFObject tag according to Macromedia’s guidance on how to securely configure a ColdFusion shared hosting environment. Please see Macromedia's Security Bulletin for more information.

If your code is currently using CFObject or the CreateObject function, you might consider changing your code to use the CFInvoke tag instead.

For more information on how to use the CFInvoke tag, please see Macromedia’s online documentation.
