Comment:

 Closing this for now.  The description didn't accurately reflect what we
 decided on in IRC and restricting links to point to locations below the
 recording dir still doesn't solve the security issue if you're running
 your backend as root and have the recordings directory writeable by
 others.  If a better solution is determined, I may reopen the ticket or
 just code the change without a task.
