--- Comment #8 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to vas from comment #6)
I do not think "at present" that has any effect, as I can not find any place
that service(8) actually does sanatize the environment, but I may of missed=
 it
in my 3 minute scan of that /bin/sh script.

Either way, I do now fully support that the package specific rc.d/fcgiwrap
script should do a env -i when it invokes this binary due to its potential =
for
being a exfiltration point.

Do note that the author of this program is aware of the fact that it can ex=
pose
its environment and actually has an internal blacklist of env variables, so=
 to
me it appears as if the exporting is by design and intentional and the novi=
ce
user running printenv in a cgi script started by this program has loaded the
gun and pulled the trigger.

(In reply to vas from comment #7)
Realize that if you sanitize the environment in a generic way in the "foo" =
init
system you remove the ability of the system admin to use the environment to
effect anything that is started, and that would probably be a larger and
painful problem to solve.
