> On the other hand hiding the field and using the following code
**exposes the id and opens a backdoor to malicious code that would modify
the hidden field**.

I don't see such recommendation anywhere in the docs. Moreover you cannot
add a hidden field if an user ID is sensitive for you. It's a support
question and Trac is not a support channel.
Closing per TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels.
