This is a recurring problem with fancy, richly-featured programmer-oriented apps made by programmers for programmers because for some reason most of the tool-writing programmers apparently just love to put "execute arbitrary code" functionality in there. Perhaps they think that the user will only execute the code they themselves wrote/approved and will never make mistakes or be tricked; or something like that, I dunno.
