We didn't do a point release for this security fix, but I think we
should still credit it in the same way we've done for security point
releases, e.g. in the notes for v2.7.6 and v2.10.5.

It's still an RCE, and even if we considered it minor due to the
obscurity of the exposed component every little thing we can do to
encourage responsible security research & reporting helps.
