After consulting with one of upstream developers, it became clear this bug 
cannot be exploited from the outside and so it's not really that serious as it 
might sound because it does not introduce a vulnerability.
To exploit this bug, a hostile party should convince the server administrator 
to misconfigure one or more of their xmpp components; clearly, such an attacker 
could as well convince her to run `rm -rf /` as root.
