I am working on a system that generates latex and PDFs from data provided 
from the public.

I don't want to allow public to accidently or maliciously embed some code 
that breaks latex or breaks the system.

Can anyone point me to some URLs or docs or provide examples of what could 
be dangerous?

Does latex allow running commands?

One problem I imagine is attempting to include some abritrary file.

I will try to strip out possible tex commands from data but want to make 
sure I don't miss anything.

Thanks!
