Further issue analysis by David Nalley:
---------------------------------------
The first issue would allow an attacker to touch/modify any file on the system.
Essentially the issue is that get, post, and requests aren't sanitized or unescaped. 

Patches are outlined in the thread, and I am about to push updates to the package - documenting here.
