That is true unless -u is given. That just selects a unique name for
you. This is still an unsafe operation but much safer.

You should also consider setting -e or using something like:
        mkfifo "$pipe" || exit 1;

That will at least terminate the script in case the file already exists
and will not write things to it.

With best regards,
