Package: x2goclient Severity: important
In X2Go it is currently possible to replace every command in X2Go
Server by a command of the same name in ~/bin.
An attacker could use this to infiltrate X2Go Client with arbitrary data.
IMHO, we should make sure, X2Go Client only uses system-wide paths
when evoking commands on X2Go Servers.
This, of course, will boycott installing X2Go Server into ~<user>
space, but actually, I prefer a safe setup to such custom installation
tweaks.
Feedback?!?

This issue also applies to Python X2Go.
