- Fix CVE-2026-8450 (affects 6.15 and earlier): 2-arg open() in send_file() enabled RCE / arbitrary file write / response-body exfiltration when a string argument was derived from attacker- influenced input. send_file() now uses 3-arg open() with an explicit '<' read mode, so the path is always treated as a literal filename and 2-arg open() shell-magic shapes ('| cmd', 'cmd |', '> path', etc.) are no longer interpreted. send_file() now also returns '0E0' (true zero) on a successful zero-byte transfer so callers can distinguish empty file from open failure (undef). See https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-8450 for the advisory. Reported and patched by Stig Palmquist (stigtsp). (Stig Palmquist, Olaf Alders)
