7. The following rules must be followed when using your own CGI scripts (whether you write them yourself or download them from elsewhere):
   
   

   • Do not use a CGI as a mailing list. If you have to send a message to more than 100 addresses, use a proper mailing list system, not a CGI.
     
     

   • Any attempt by any script to "explore" the file system outside of your own home directory will be considered a security violation.
     
     

   • Any attempt to execute system commands or programs will be considered a security violation. The only exception to this is that you can execute any command that is located in the /usr/public directory.
     
     

   • Do not attempt to upload and execute your own binary files. If you do this you will lose your account immediately and without notice.
     
     

   • Be very careful that your CGI doesn't open up any hidden security holes. For example, don't blindly open filenames that are built from user-supplied information.
