It's probably better to take what you're actually doing and pare it down
to a minimal (but still working) example, one that those with the
language installed can test right away and that others will not be
confused by. In this case, perhaps just the minimal Ditaa you need to
produce some graphic, like

  +-----+
  | doc |
  +-----+

Also, settings and headers vary between Babel languages, so to resolve
your problem we might actually need to know which one you are using.

As for security, providing a minimal example for an issue is the kind of
thing the list is for, so foul play would not be the baseline
assumption, and you can leave it up to folks here to handle your minimal
example with the appropriate caution. That said, I'd be rather more
cautious of a (non-empty) elisp block than of a ditaa one. :)
