WebObjects App Open To Hackers - So I'm Told

Recently I got onto the deployment side of WebObjects and my app is running nice and fluently, but a Microsoft engineer got word to me through a mutual friend that my app is fully open to hackers as it shows the complete path to the cgi-bin through the exposed ip address eg.:

http://nnn.nn.nnn.nn/cgi-bin/WebObjects.dll/Murray.woa/1/wa/Terms

Aparently with such an exposed address a hacker has everything they need to get into the source and grab what they like... is this true? If so how do I overcome this open error. By the way I'm not up on my serverside stuff very well at all, in fact I'm only just learning it since deploying with WebObjects so I may need some layman explanations.

Kind regards
Jonathan :^|
