Indeed, and no, tjere is no fix available at the moment. However, there is

It makes the more dangerous w.r.t. safety, but not, afaicr, w.r.t. to
security, i.e. it might protect you from accidents, but not from security
exploits.

The confirm-selection extensions in urxvt should be able to protect you from
both those accidents and their (some of) their security implications.
