PATH variable for do shell script

Hi

When I upgraded to El Capitan some scripts stopped working because the PATH variable in AppleScripts doesn't include all the paths that I have set up for my login. For the moment, I'll just hard-wire in the path of the command in my script, but is there something I should know about this change? Is this a security issue? Are there are specific directories I should be using in order to access command line programs from AppleScript?

do shell script "echo $PATH"

"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

Thanks for any pointers

A
