Hi Steve,
I have also been using Tango for a dozen years or more. There are no real
security issues with the product line. Security holes may exist in the browser,
OS, networking protocols, or in the application. For example a well coded
application will prevent users from trying SQL Injection attacks, or HTML
hijacking.
I trust future versions will be equally secure.
There was once a problem with the log files on Tango 2 on a Mac, but that was
solved a long time ago. There was also an issue with metahtml encoding that's
been fixed too.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Alternate Dumb Question Thread: Security
Folks,
We've had (Wi)Tango around for a dozen years and I can say it's been worry free
in our environment. The fact that it still functions after various degrees of
support (or not) over those years is a credit to the foundational work. I can't
say that I've seen much discussion on the security implications of the product
along the way, so let me ask...
What are the security implications in remaining with v5.5 for some of our
legacy applications? Looks like we'll be moving to a different environment
over time (for various support reasons), so I just wanted to appreciate the
risk of hanging with my current version. I realize the product/OS support will
eventually force an upward migration. Are there current issues with v5.5 that
I may be unaware or is it by it’s very nature strictly dependent on the
security gaps in the OS or database?
Thanks,
