[common] A hole in the security of a system deliberately left in place by +designers or maintainers, implemented in the form of a deliberate but subtle +and thus hard to spot bug. This can be implemented as a slightly mis-spelled +variable, a typo, extra or missing parentheses or a confusing regex.
