Whoah: Perl Jam: Exploiting a 20 year old vulnerability.
The short version: $cgi->param(...) can return an array. Nothing you didn't know there. Here's the scary bit:
$dbh->quote(...) can take an additional type argument, which will make it skip quoting(!).
This means instant SQL injection vulnerability for code which does $dbh->quote($cgi->param(...)).
Gulp.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
