Edit/Update: You're right; I'm wrong -- I don't think this is the concern. Namely, I completely missed that the bug was already there in another line, and that the home directory was also being scanned. So it can't be a privilege escalation issue. Moreover I forgot that setuid doesn't work for scripts, so that shouldn't be the issue either. Not sure what's going on now either; I'm confused too.
