Check your bug tracking system. ;-) We are of course aware of this bug report which was retired some time ago (but after 3.14p was frozen), but "security defect" is rather extreme considering how this is used. You can always use scary language like this to talk about anything, but it is a bit over the top in this case! And if you think there is a "security defect" in the current version (I disagree), you should report it (to GNATS or report@gnat.com).
