You forgot NPM. Whereby we download code from unknown authors on GitHub and run in with full access to our filesystem on our machines. No vulnerability, it's been designed like this, we even have designed scripts to autoupdate vulnerabilites, that's the proof that vulns are not common.

Not to worry, Linus said that given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. So it sorts itself out, because we all review the code we download, right?
