+      To prevent security issues with shell metacharacters (symbols that have
+      special effects in a shell command line), ``findmatch`` will refuse
+      to inject ASCII characters other than alphanumerics and ``@+=:,./-_``
+      into the returned command line.
+
+      If a disallowed character appears in *filename*, ``findmatch`` will always
+      return ``(None, None)`` as if no entry was found.
+      If such a character appears elsewhere (a value in *plist* or in *MIMEtype*),
+      ``findmatch`` will ignore all mailcap entries which use that value.
+      A :mod:`warning <warnings>` will be raised in either case.

+The deprecated mailcap module now refuses to inject unsafe text (filenames,
