Google Mini Security Issue Patched

Via WebProNews, Metasploit explains how it discovered flaws in the Google Mini enterprise search appliance that could be abused to do "cross-site scripting, file discovery, service enumeration and arbitrary command execution."

Metasploit praised Google for responding immediately and being helpful through the fix and testing process.
