So, we discussed this some, and it seems like a pretty complex
vulnerability. Additionally, ask isn't a particularly sensitive
application for us. 

So, we are just going to wait and see right now I think, and if it's
used against us, reevaluate. 

Thanks for bringing it up... I sure hope there's a fix at some point.
