My problem with this Kart is the amount of holes in it.  I had an 
entire server brought down from defacement from this... however, some of 
that was the lack of sandboxing the app to its own space.  Essentially, 
it was not validating ANY user input (or URL input) and allowing script 
kiddies access to the DB and its result set in the title of every page 
of the site based on the URL params you passed in.  It didn't store 
username/password combination in the database, and once they were in to 
the admin page, they had free reign to upload pages at will.  I closed 
this hole on my local copy, and will never use this code for any other 
kart again.... ever.  I'm rolling my own for all future clients.
