As a security guy I would say this situation happens with reasonable frequency in REST web frameworks where developers are encouraged to use ORMs[0], and the design of Hyperfiddle/Electric is no more likely to fall victim to it.

I'd actually take a punt that it's less likely because of Clojure's data-orientation. Given that the above mentioned ORM-preferring frameworks typically have to define a whole new class and map the data from a server-side representation to a client-side representation, you're more likely to see developers not bother, forget or bungle the implementation aspect.

What I'm interested in is how Electric Clojure handles mass assignment (unconstrained deserialization)[1], sort of the flip side of excessive data exposure. If an (e/server) s-exp uses the symbol `is-admin?` will the server respect or discard values for `is-admin?` sent from the client?
