Now that's a reasonable question. Spyware and malware are another possible risk from anything you install and execute off of Github or another similar site. And I legitimately don't know how they tackle that.

I mean, it is at least assumed that you, as well as other people looking at the same project/source code would offer a bit of a safety net, but I don't know that it's something people actively look for or check.

Guess it could be run in a Sandbox for added safety. Block it from non-white listed networks, that kind of thing. Still an excellent question.
