What exactly is it that you think you've found?

You have assignment statements preceding a command that is one component
of a compound command.

You might have a case that in the first three statements bash should
throw an error at the assignment statement instead of treating it as
if the operators were quoted (the result of parsing it like a possible
compound assignment), but this certainly isn't anything close to a
security problem.
