gollark: ... of course you have.

gollark: Evil idea: find an exploit in a popular debugger, and make an obfuscated program which uses it to release BEES™ onto your computer when debugged.
gollark: It does still have bugs, though, but almost certainly not "arbitrary code execution (or other significant badness) through a bound query parameter".
