Terminals are interchangeable and could direct the shell in ways that can be invisible to the user.tadfisher 5y agoAll the security review in the world won't stop a vulnerability elsewhere from replacing `sudo` with an alias in your `.bash_profile`.pama 5y agoAgreed. A malicious terminal could do all that and more. And it won’t have to edit your bashrc, though it certainly could.
