If the $path or $pattern given includes special characters, for example a command substitution such as "rm index.php", the shell will process it and execute that command. You can fix the problem by either escaping the characters properly (use shell_escape) or by writing a function that actually calls glob(), or opendir()/readdir()/closedir(), recursively.
