sorry, I am not fully sure what this means.
a minimum sql reproducer would be great.
This is same complaint being made against “security invoker” triggers existing/being the default. Or the general risk in higher privileged users running security invoker functions written by lesser privileged users.
The features conform to our existing security model design. Discussions are happening as pertains to that model and the OP should chime in there to contribute to the overall position of the project and not relegate the complaint to any one particular feature.
