cgi script

Hello,
we have an extranet where every user has a password and a username. Some powerusers must have the possibility to access data of all the users without knowing their password. The powerusers must know the username. We want to use a form for this where a poweruser just gives the username. Then a new browserwindow must be opened with all the data from that specific user.
Is there a possibility to bypass some security issues with a cgi-script that is not written in perl or c?
The website is built with frames

Thanks

Vincent

CGI passing arrays/hashes to another CGI script

libssh2_userauth_password_ex

libssh2_userauth_password_ex(3) 				  libssh2 manual				   libssh2_userauth_password_ex(3)

NAME

       libssh2_userauth_password_ex - authenticate a session with username and password

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>
       int libssh2_userauth_password_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
			   const char *username,
			   unsigned int username_len,
			   const char *password,
			   unsigned int password_len,
			   LIBSSH2_PASSWD_CHANGEREQ_FUNC((*passwd_change_cb)));

       #define libssh2_userauth_password(session, username, password) 
	libssh2_userauth_password_ex((session), (username), 
				     strlen(username), 
				     (password), strlen(password), NULL)

DESCRIPTION

       session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

       username - Name of user to attempt plain password authentication for.

       username_len - Length of username parameter.

       password - Password to use for authenticating username.

       password_len - Length of password parameter.

       passwd_change_cb - If the host accepts authentication but requests that the password be changed, this callback will be issued.  If no call-
       back is defined, but server required password change, authentication will fail.

       Attempt basic password authentication. Note that many SSH servers which appear to support ordinary password authentication actually have it
       disabled and use Keyboard Interactive authentication (routed via PAM or another authentication backed) instead.

RETURN VALUE

       Return 0 on success or negative on failure.  It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a
       negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.

ERRORS

       Some of the errors this function may return include:

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC -  An internal memory allocation call failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_PASSWORD_EXPIRED -

       IBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED - failed, invalid username/password or public/private key.
