Sorry, I can't see what the security issue could be.

If you are running it as your own user, only you or root can override
which print gets used. As such, you must trust yourself and you must
trust root. The current directory should never be in the PATH, so that
is not an issue.

In other words, an unprivileged user can't use this flaw to attack
another, so it has no security implication.

As such, I am unmarking it as a security issue, and am going to dupe it
to bug 1208215.
