The helper is the open path behind the documented -file argument: new(-file =\u003e $thing) reaches it through ReadConfig. An in-memory scalar reference (-file =\u003e \\$text) does not open a path and is unaffected.\n\nAny caller that forwards untrusted input to the -file argument can run an arbitrary command or truncate a file under the process UID.",
