Hi,

In cgi-grnet-01's Apache error log I found this:


CGI::param called in list context from /srv/cdimage-search.debian.org/cgi-bin/find_file.cgi line 316, this can lead to vulnerabilities. See the warning in "Fetching the value or values of a single named parameter" at /usr/share/perl5/CGI.pm line 414.
That's printed on every invocation of the script, so it'd be good to fix it. It is not invoked super often, but a clean error log would be better. :) 

Kind regards and thanks
Philipp Kern

Thanks for raising this. I've just pushed a new version with updates
which solve this problem.
