  - In Zsh before 5.8, attackers able to execute commands can regain privileges dropped by the --no-PRIVILEGED
    option. Zsh fails to overwrite the saved uid, so the original privileges can be restored by executing
    MODULE_PATH=/dir/with/module zmodload with a module that calls setuid(). (CVE-2019-20044)
