+.SH A NOTE ON SECURITY
+.PP
+If you use pandoc to convert user\-contributed content in a web
+application, here are some things to keep in mind:
+.IP "1." 3
+Although pandoc itself will not create or modify any files other than
+those you explicitly ask it create (with the exception of temporary
+files used in producing PDFs), a filter or custom writer could in
+principle do anything on your file system.
+Please audit filters and custom writers very carefully before using
+them.
+.IP "2." 3
+If your application uses pandoc as a Haskell library (rather than
+shelling out to the executable), it is possible to use it in a mode that
+fully isolates pandoc from your file system, by running the pandoc
+operations in the \f[C]PandocPure\f[R] monad.
+See the document Using the pandoc API for more details.
+.IP "3." 3
+Pandoc\[aq]s parsers can exhibit pathological performance on some corner
+cases.
+It is wise to put any pandoc operations under a timeout, to avoid DOS
+attacks that exploit these issues.
+If you are using the pandoc executable, you can add the command line
+options \f[C]+RTS \-M512M \-RTS\f[R] (for example) to limit the heap
+size to 512MB.
+.IP "4." 3
+The HTML generated by pandoc is not guaranteed to be safe.
+If \f[C]raw_html\f[R] is enabled for the Markdown input, users can
+inject arbitrary HTML.
+Even if \f[C]raw_html\f[R] is disabled, users can include dangerous
+content in attributes for headers, spans, and code blocks.
+To be safe, you should run all the generated HTML through an HTML
+sanitizer.
