I guess you picked a good one (I looked into that particular security
aspect myself, not entirely surprisingly) for a practice run. It's
perhaps not the toughest choice, but it's not easy. It does seem to be
fairly contained, so you may get away with ring-fencing the changes
and actually getting the outcome approved.

I would aim at a well documented plan of attack, maybe the community
(this community) would be willing, certainly able, to help.

Github, perhaps?

Lucio.

PS: You don't have to succeed immediately, real progress moves slowly
and in unpredictable ways.
