curl cannot protect against attacks where an attacker has write access to the
same directory where curl is directed to save files.
## Tricking a user to run a command line
A creative, misleading or funny looking command line is not a security
problem. The curl command line tool takes options and URLs on the command line
and if an attacker can trick the user to run a specifically crafted curl
command line, all bets are off. Such an attacker can just as well have the
user run a much worse command that can do something fatal (like
`sudo rm -rf /`).
