Hi,

There is a long-standing security issue[1] in jq, for which there is a committed fix[2] but no released version. Would you be willing to consider backporting the fix? While unlikely, it looks like this security issue might lead to arbitrary code execution and the fix is trivial, so I think it might be worth it.

Thank you!
