It is very small, so it can be used in embedded environments, or where something like PHP is too big. . It combines three features into a small CGI engine: * It parses POST and GET requests, placing form-elements into the environment as name=value pairs for the CGI script to use. This is somewhat similar to the uncgi wrapper. * It opens a shell, and translates all text into printable statements. All text within <% ... %> constructs is passed verbatim to the shell. This is somewhat similar to how PHP scripts are parsed. * It can be set up to drop its permissions to the owner of the script, giving it some of the security features of suexec or cgiwrapper.
Template: haserl/setuid Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Install haserl binary with suid root permissions? When haserl is installed with suid root permissions, it will automatically set its UID and GID to match the owner and group of the script. . This is a potential security vulnerability, as scripts that are owned by root will be run as root, even when they do not have the suid root bit.
