I read it as "sheet metal" because there was an HTML editor of the era called "Hot Metal."

CGI as in "Common Gateway Interface" or CGI.pm?

If the former, the injection vulnerability would be in the script talking to the server/database via CGI, rather than in CGI itself.

If the latter I don't remember any major unpatched vulnerabilities in CGI.pm, but it was epically inefficient.
