That's what I suspected. I probed the few trival forms that I'd done with CGI/Oracle and found that mine were accidentally safe -- I figure pretty much like a pocket protector keeps you from getting STD's. Limited fields and some javascript pre-processing.

But now I've got some concerns about what our developers have done in our big app.....
