 * Hi,
 * glad to see cform|| still alive, I am big fans of this plugin!
 * as I saw from Oliver writing on his website:
 * >  I’ve just recently been made aware of potentially new security concerns around
   > PHP injection attacks, which I took as a reason to make a long over due call.
   > As of today, I give up cforms and lay it to rest. This includes the forum and
   > home page.
 * How is the security of the newest version? did this one already fixed the security
   issues?
 * plz advise. THX!

 * I was made aware of a remote code execution bug which originated from the original
   code about the same time and fixed it (see changelog). I guess it was the same
   bug.
 * I am not aware of any other very critical security bugs, but probably there are
   possible XSS attack vectors.
