While I see pmwiki site under spam attack, and after having restored a couple of web pages, I'm troubling myself with the following (dreadful) thought: is there a sort of security lock/code/flag/hash/signature/whatever allowing people to trust (somehow) the recipes the community upload/download and let run inside its servers?
Live example: I trust Hans and, due to the very many enhancements and updates of Fox over time, I often happen to download and let the latest Fox run at my site. Of course there is no way for me to scrutinize the code (far too technical), so: how do I know that any John Hacker hasn't just uploaded a malicious version of Fox, with that couple of lines added which are perhaps enough to open a backdoor or do harm in any way? In case there is no security barrier at all, I humbly suggest some ad hoc brainstorming should be welcome.
