CFQUERYPARAM caught the following attempt at SQL Injection.

 Would someone please explain what they were trying to do?


It is a sophisticated SQL Injection attack. If it where successful it would append a string to any and all character fields an any and all user defined tables in your database. Usually a link to some cross scripting JavaScript or link spam page.

There is a long discussion about this on the house of fusion site. http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:57065
