.cindex "tainted data" "in filenames"
.cindex appendfile "tainted data"
Tainted data may not be used for a file or directory name.
This means that, for instance, &$local_part$& cannot be used directly
as a component of a path. It can however be used as the key for a lookup
which returns a path (or component).
