This was my thought as well, sanitize your inputs! Are they not quoting/casting to string before input?

I think that word modern is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

A lot of systems simply aren't modern. There's always that mentality of "well, it's been working for the last 12 years, let's not mess with it now", despite all the valid objections like "but it's running on Windows2000” or "it's a data breach waiting to happen"...
