I'm not quite so sure about that. One of the early examples I've seen of Unix use (I think Ken Thompson was actually in the video, from early 80's) showed using the various tools to process file data that got downloaded from somewhere else (where that data was supposedly created by another user). So if you had a script that did:
cat downloaded_file.txt |\
while read inputline
do
#some processing
#call another shell program
done
In this case, bash would still be vulnerable even without the Internet involved -- just processing a data file you got from Bob in Accounting.
