You might want to ask Rick on the West Wind board about vulns specific to his product.
I think you'll find the bigger concern for sites accessible from the public Internet is that they're using an up-to-date Windows OS and patched web server (e.g. IIS for West Wind) and protected with a router/firewall. I believe there is a BPA (Best Practices Analyzer) for various versions of IIS.
