--- Comment #4 from Sami Liedes <sami.liedes at iki.fi> ---
You mean that instead of silently dropping control characters, Konsole would
open a popup window showing the entire pasted text with control characters
visible and ask if you want to paste it?

I guess that would kind of solve the security problem, though I note that the
text being pasted may be quite long for a popup (I don't know what the maximum
size is, but I think at least hundreds of thousands of bytes is possible), and
the malicious part could be hidden in the middle.

Do you think someone relies on being able to paste control characters? I guess
it's entirely possible.
