#69 multi-gnome-terminal security hole?

[Keith Dart]

Greetings! First, I would like to say that I really
like multi-gnome-terminal. But, it has one feature that
caused me some problems, and could be a security hole.
The terminal control extensions could easily be
exploited. Fore example:

"\033]NW;gotcha\011<path>\011rm -rf *\007"

Now, put the raw escape codes in a file and just "cat"
it, or write it to the screen in some other way and you
have problems. I think that is a dangerous feature. It
probably should at least be configurable and turned off
by default.
