Does NukeSentinel provide for relief?

I've not been able to exploit this with the latest Patched files. It seems to query seems to be sanitized correctly

It never ceases to amaze me that great fixes like Patched and great addons like NukeSentinel aren't incorporated into the base code. This is the kind of cr@p that has been going on for years - it just gives users of other CMS applications an excuse to point the finger of insecurity at Nuke. More importantly, it wastes the valuable time of all of us who have implemented the patches and use NukeSentinel.
