Oh no worries. The editor is made so, that it allows only files ending on ".htm". If any of "..", "/", or a null character occurs in the file requested for editting, it denies access. The password is hardcoded in the .pl-file (which name doesn't end on .htm so it can't be loaded in the editor) and the submitted password is compared to this one.

What I just meant to say by 'little feeling of fake security' is that not everyone is easily abled to edit the files, but with a little bruteforcing I think the password is easily cracked :)
But anyway, it is a temporary solution and I will delete the editor when the site update is finished.
