Hi again, it appears that this did not fix the problem. He's still
gaining database access.

I've changed my core.php debug to 0. I also changed the password of my
database. I've checked my server to make sure its not displaying php
errors. I'm using the security component. I'm on Cake 1.3.10. I'm in
the process of upgrading my cake folder to 1.3.11 right now.

But yet, even after these changes this person has again somehow gotten
access to my database. He's inserting users with all fields of the
user table set to NULL and marking himself as a premium member(its one
of my fields in the user table). He doesn't give himself a username or
password so he can't actually log in and abuse my system. He's just
got access to my database somehow.

I'm not sure how to figure out how he's doing this. Does anyone have
any ideas? If you need me to paste some code please let me know and
I'll provide it, as I'm not sure where the error might lie.

Thanks for any help.
