If you write the update program, then you have the ability to build it as
you see fit, right? For instance, you can specify that the program must be
run on the server itself so you can have full control, etc. Almost anything
is possible if it's a separate program under your design control to do the
updates.

Since others are giving you advice regarding your original intentions,
limiting the login capability, I think you should probably exhaust those
options first, though.
