Which was always my assumption behind the assertion that programs like
Anzio should never have escape code command activation on by default.  If
you go to a site with a "bad" /etc/issue, you're just as screwed.

And it's far easier to do than trigger voice activation.  I'd consider it a
broader target vector.
