+   Functions, triggers and row-level security policies allow users to insert
+   code into the backend server that other users might execute
+   unintentionally. Hence, these mechanisms permit users to <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Trojan
+   horse</span>”</span> others with relative ease. The strongest protection is tight
+   control over who can define objects. Where that is infeasible, write
+   queries referring only to objects having trusted owners.  Remove
+   from <code class="varname">search_path</code> the public schema and any other schemas
+   that permit untrusted users to create objects.
+  </p><p>
+   Functions run inside the backend
+   server process with the operating system permissions of the
+   database server daemon.  If the programming language
+   used for the function allows unchecked memory accesses, it is
+   possible to change the server's internal data structures.
+   Hence, among many other things, such functions can circumvent any
+   system access controls.  Function languages that allow such access
+   are considered <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">untrusted</span>”</span>, and
+   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> allows only superusers to
+   create functions written in those languages.
