I'd also like to point out that xmath used the exploit to remove execute permissions from the script to prevent any incidents, but at a later point the script was re-activated by this thread's creator in spite of numerous explicit warnings against doing so before fixing the exploit.

Normally such incidents are considered a gimme when providing web services to users, but if ever a case existed where a user should be held responsible for such negligence it would be this one.

Nik: Are you responsible? Yes. Are you liable for any damages? Probably not, which, judging from your demeanor in the channel, is probably your only real concern.


Roses are red, violets are blue. All my base, are belong to you.
