The vulnerability appears to lie that this script-fu server just opens a 
TCP port, un-authenticated and un-encrypted and allows execution to run 
in the context of the server.
As mentioned, the GIMP Dev team say it is a feature that wasn't designed 
with security in mind, so if you were to use it, you would be advised to 
wrap it.
