Can you elaborate? What kind of details? And did you mean "intrinsic" or
"explicit"? ;-)

Actually, MC CGIs are probably the most secure as they will only run
scripts that are in the cgi-bin folder with the engine. You can't send
it a script to run "from the outside", so it will only do what it has
been preprogrammed to do. Or at least that's my understanding...
