Follow-up Comment #9, bug #18554 (project findutils):
James, I believe the way I suggested using "sh -c" is perfectly safe. The
security problem you are thinking of is associated with uses where the {} is
part of the command, e.g.
find ... -exec sh -c 'ls -l {}' \;
which is not portable anyway. (POSIX says {} only needs to be substituted if
it is a separate argument.)
