Addressing "principles" first (but directing this response to your broad question on exploitation, rather than to the specific examples of potential problems): the simplest may be to use existing, well-tested OS forum s/w. Rolling your own with even a glimmer of a possibility of opening its use to other than those who "can all be trusted" is either:
- An example of the triumph of hope over experience
or
- A long-term committment to bug-erradication; hole-plugging; and user-hand-holding
Nonetheless, ++ for thinking about it....
Now, some possibly relevant procedures:
- -T
- POST; not GET
- 2-part login uname & pass) required and retained throughout session (you've already addressed this?)
- uname (+reference to hashed_pass) included (hidden) when a node is created.
And far beyond the trivia above, lots of heavy reading about vulnerabilties and how to minimize them.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
