I'm not sure whether this has been properly reported to the upstream
developers. The timeline of the Github link above mentions

03-27-18: Emailed author, no response
04-03-18: Emailed author, no response
04-10-18: Emailed author, no response
04-23-18: New version released; Submitted public disclosure

but it's not obvious who they contacted.

Ah, ok. I wasn't aware of that.

Even if we'd build some kind of GUI, tricking a user into manually pasting
an overly long string into a specific input box is quite a stretch for
labelling a bug a security issue....

I'll simply go ahead and close this, then. Thanks for the quick followup.

Cheers,
        Moritz
