 Replying to [comment:6 johnjamesjacoby]:

 Thanks so much for the research.

 I'd like to keep the ticket open as I still think `absint()` is invalid in
 this context, passing `$object_id = -4` shouldn't update object 4.
 `intval()` combined with checking for a positive number is a better but
 problematic in its own ways.
