The title is sensationalist; cat is fine. What is unsafe is iTerm's ssh integration, which is pretty obviously unsafe, because it includes a side control channel that is not cleanly separated from the the data stream. Don't use it, use normal ssh, and all should be fine.

This is a good title, thanks! There was iTerm2 in the original title, but it overflowed to the subtitle in Substack.

I've now updated the blog post.
