This is where the security problem is POSTED [webmasterworld.com]

Is there anything we could server side?

In the meanwhile I am turning off on each client's domain the user PDF uploading capability (where it is allowed) and restrict to the domain admin side that capability.

From what i can understand, it's out of everyones control now and the only protection is protection for ourselves by making sure we are so careful; although with todays technology with rewriting url's any link that is on the internet could be dangerous.

If you are any good at mod_rewrite then perhaps you could write a peice of code that disallows #whatevername=javascript: etc from the end of the string?

I'm not sure but thanks for reminding people about this problem, i really don't think alot of people are going to or will understand the concept of this problem.
