  • Code execution that may not be so obvious could be the preLaunchTask that runs before starting the app and can run a build that has an extra task executing arbitrary code unrelated to the build.

Even reading the code can be deceptive, attackers can use Unicode hacks to hide malicious code in plain sight. Heck, you don't even have to open any source code to be owned.
