By listing security issues in this section, I'm afraid that we will miss some and will had lots of discussions on which ones to / not to add (DOS, Authentication, Insertions, Malicious data, spam, etc. - while some are also related to the protocol)
Actually, I'd rather list none but have a single sentence saying "the specification does not address security concerns related to SPARQL/Update and that implementers and users MUST be aware of security concerns when allowing SPARQL/Update on their dataset".
