I think just the fact that David has brought it public, SI needs to realize there are problems and holes here. If David can find them so can someone else. I honestly feel SI needs to have him on their team to search and find to plug up these holes. Let's face it.....he's good!!

Hi Sherry, It is a bug. The normal user should have never been allowed to do this. Upon discovery of this I immediately contacted SI and via an email exchange, I told them how this was able to be done. I would hope they are at work patching their software so this will never happen again. Last night I found 3 bugs on SI. Two of them I would consider major security holes. I suspect I can find a lot of holes using the latest flavor of finding bugs. The reality of it is when SI put out the new version, they didn't do any serious bug checking. Its almost as though they left security at the back door. If they put security in its proper perspective, this sort of thing wouldn't happen real-time.... David
