This statement is not based on reality, so the rest of the message does not 
follow. MD5 is not secure for applications that blindly sign inputs from 
non-trusted parties that can predict the content of the part of the message 
before the submitted text. This is an attack on the collision-resistance of the 
function. There have been no published practical attacks on the 
primage-resistance of MD5.
