Current evaluation

Acknowledged UX request to link the CVE-2020-27348 empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH warning to remediation documentation; no implementation is evident.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: Maintainer @~sergiusens explicitly agreed, “We should link to documentation,” confirming the request is valid. However, the issue has no labels, and the current checkout contains neither the quoted warning nor a documentation-link implementation, so triage is still needed.

Issue body

Checking a build log I saw the warning 'CVE-2020-27348: A potentially empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been set for environment in 'quadrapassel'. The current working directory will be added to the library path if empty. This can cause unexpected libraries to be loaded.' It's nice that it gives a warning about the issue but it would be even better if it was hinting on how to fix the issue or pointing to some online resources on the topic
