Can styles cause security flaws?

Or I guess a better question would be, without going through the effort of intentionally building a style that introduces flaws in security, is it possible for a newbie to making styles to build one in unintentionally?

Unintentionally? Not very likely.

I see. Thanks!

There's not much you can mess up in terms of security when doing a style. Doing actual PHP code (mods) on the other hand is another can of worms.

Sorry but i do not agree with that Adrian.

(i am not a designer, so don't go ask me for examples)

Examples?
