Security problem

Post by tomza »

Some bright spark has found a security hole and seems to have wiped out the entire Who's Using list, replacing it with his own idiot comments.

Please investigate and publish fix for the hole ASAP

Cheers

This is not a security issue.

This is how Wikis work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#Key_characteristics, second paragraph.

So this stupid idiot has found no flaw, he just abuses the system. IF someone goes on the street and kills people, does he tell the people they had a security issue because they went out on the streets? Guess not.

I recovered the Who's using list, thanks for noticing me!

I hope this dumbhead will stop posting bullshit, because the only thing we can do about it is to disallow visitors adding their blogs to our list.

Regards,
Garvin

Thanks for that. I was concerned that there really was a security hole and even started looking at other blog scripts! To no avail - S9Y still has the edge.
