That is a pretty far out security assessment. You have the same exploits in commercial software, just security through obscurity helps because of far less usage.

Yeah, I kind of thought that too as I was typing it, but it's so egregiously bad that I couldn't get around that conclusion.

>You have the same exploits in commercial software

Sure, virtually all software is susceptible to exploit. But, if someone were sending unsanitized strings to a database, and without using query parameters, etc., then we would all agree that's inexcusable after all of these years of knowing better.

IMO, this is in that category.
