Interesting and surprisingly silly security flaw in TikiWiki that could have allowed someone to view part of the Synopsis for Last One. I've blocked that and notified the TikiWiki security developers . Seems like it should be very straight forward to fix.

This weekend I will mostly be doing ... Spring Cleaning.
