#$@$, this list of terminal escape sequences is terrifying.

https://terminalguide.namepad.de/seq

Luckily the one to read clipboard is disabled by default: https://terminalguide.namepad.de/seq/osc-52

If enabled, any terminal program can read your clipboard just by printing a few characters to stdout. https://github.com/akkartik/teliva has no hope of sandboxing that.

Hopefully there isn't any worse crap lurking in this list. No "this escape sequence runs the command you provide". That I can spot, at least..
