How secure is swish?
We know of no security issues with using swish. Careful attention has been made with regard to common security problems such as buffer overruns when programming swish. The most likely security issue with swish is when swish is run via a poorly written CGI interface. This is not limited to CGI scripts written in Perl, as it’s just as easy to write an insecure CGI script in C, Java, PHP, or Python. A good source of information is included with the Perl distribution.
