You are talking about input editing.

It happens all the time with passwords, A page asks
the user to create a password. The person inputs a 12
digit password and confirms it.

When the person tries to log into the site, his
password doesn't work. Why, because the site only
accepts 8 character passwords.

I understand exactly what you are saying, but improper
security is the same as giving someone your car keys.

It's not the fault of the Linux, if it's hacked in
such a manner. It's not within the scope of any OS to
protect against allowed usage by poorly written
external programs using the picture file example.
