the problem with clueless amateurs...

This is a more generic problem in the open source community. People creating things as a hobby who just don't quite 'get' all those older principles us grey hairs used to live by and enterprises, anybody with a connection to the wild internet really, have to live by - like the principle of least privilege, like fail-safe over fail-soft (which may mean not being so forgiving about bad input!), like learning from the mistakes of others rather than continually choosing to repeat them yourself (to be fair this one is much more widespread than the FOSS community) and the list goes on.
