With the amount of new seemingly well polished personal projects being built (thanks to the help of LLMs) I feel increasingly concerned by how easy it is becoming to get a worm/virus/troyan to a lot of people.

And how is this different from downloading a file from a GitHub releases page? Or even installing from FlatHub with full fs perms (which would make sense for a text editor)?
