 Replying to [comment:3 isis]:

 > Also, because OONI and the bridge reachability tests are using txtorcon,
 and the spawned Tor calls exec, I am wondering what kinds of extra
 security checks I should use to make sure that exec doesn't get abused. If
 there isn't a way to make that safe, I will just include this option in
 the bridge reachability test in a separate repo, and not in the main OONI
 bridget test.

 Does ‘OONI’ (I'm not sure what exactly that refers to) have a stated
 policy specifying which inputs to ooniprobe.py are allowed to be attacker-
 controlled, and which inputs must be received from a trusted source?
