Yes, and then the question is, should you be putting programs you don't trust at all in your PATH?

Yes, and then the question is, should you be putting programs you don't trust at all in your PATH?
- tomxor 7y agoYes, if i trust them enough to add and not replace binaries.
- inimino 7y agoBut once you run any of those binaries, it's free to replace any of your other (non-root-owned) binaries in `~/.local`. So the trust you're talking about seems to be a preference, but I don't think there's any particularly plausible threat model that makes one of these safer than the other.
