Now that MOD developers are moving forward updating MODs... are there some tips we should follow to avoid opening security holes.

I know Davio has a document that may address this, but maybe there are a handful of quick items to look for when we code.

Check every single string before it goes into sql

SELECT * FROM * WHERE FIELD=" & chkString(string, "SqlString")

If your doing anything that might display forum titles, topic titles, post contents, or have links to those. Make sure you check private forums and forum access first.

Don't give users links to content they can't access. . . because that makes mad users

Try to make your mods flexable.

I know that it adds alot of trouble to making mods, and that it makes them harder to install. But try to make your mods configurable.

If you have seen the Active Users 4.0 control panel, you will know what I'm talking about.
