that could easily be trojan-horsed with links to malware if you are viewing it in a poorly secured setting (like public wifi), because you can't verify the origin. so the best we can say about the author is that we are getting inconsistent signals on how seriously they understand and implement security concerns. so better review that code carefully before use, rather than assuming their expertise from release notes.
