    initial v1  
    11I have a large client that encountered this bug, it caused the home page content to be replaced with binary image data. I'd say that's a pretty major problem.

     3It can be triggered by any module that tries to download content from a remote server and fails, in our case it was an image from Flickr (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4751/39430293454_286b82ba56_b-400x250.jpg) that is no longer valid. Due to this, 200K+ of binary data was dumped into the output of every page on the website.

     5This could trigger bugs in code that post-processes the output, such as shortcodes, and potentially be leveraged to execute arbitrary code.
