I bet if you check the permissions you'll find the file has mode 0600,
which means only the user running the script can read the file (at
least that's what a test using the pdksh port does on my system).
ksh93 does have a problem, though: it opens a file and immediately
unlinks it, but the file is world-readable for a short time.
Both ksh variants honor the TMPDIR variable, though, so if you create a
~/tmp directory, chmod it so only you can access it, then set
TMPDIR=~/tmp , you will be secure even if you're using ksh93.
