:Prior to patch 3.2a, /dump compiled and executed its argument as secure code, thereby permitting arbitrary code to be run in secure mode. This led to widespread use of "dump macro" exploits to circumvent the Blizzard addon secure code restrictions. The command was fixed via urgent client patch 3.2a and is no longer exploitable in this way.
