Yes, you should be careful about what your scripts do. And it doesn't
only apply to executables.

I was asked for my ssh keys to give me access to a server. I obviously
wasn't thinking clearly enough, and created a tar file with my
authorized_keys in it. They extracted it directly into .ssh ... and
overwrote all their existing keys.

Mistakes on both parts :-(
