Honestly, I was flailing around, trying to mitigate the issue, but I think
that's a fool's errand. I'm abandoning trying to make this syntax work.

So I have two questions.

The first is, if this is CVE-worthy, who takes that forward?

The second is, in the meantime, I've got a very small number of users which
need authentication--less than a dozen. I'm thinking about installing some
sort of local authentication--maybe gdbm. Is that a reasonable path to take?

Thanks,

     John A
