Blank fields for font sizes in Preferences make JRun cry. Possible SQL Injection attack point?

yeah, I do an integer check there, but I should capture it and force defaults if blank.

Who is JRun and why is he so sensitive?

Exposing potential flaws to the public before notifying the owner is also bad form; I'm sure you know that.
Just a quick email to #1 would be better.

I dunno. Matt seems pretty paranoid about site security (which is why custom css is no longer allowed) but CF is pretty good about not doing SQL injection so long as you follow the rules: Always use #val()# or cfqueryparam, kids!

But seriously, cfparam can be a nice little bitch in these situations, can't it matt?
