But... it is source, one can put anything inside like 
(shell-command "sudo rm -rf /")

Those "CVE" bugs are exaggerated.

Like this one:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-48338
"malicious Ruby source files may cause commands to be executed"

But hey, any malicious source file may cause commands to be
executed. Some CVE bug reporters maybe enjoy to find "bugs", which are
obvious. Emacs is insecure in general.

It is a question of expectations.

If you execute a malicious source file as a script, sure, you expect
it to be executed and you are ready for any damage it causes. There is
no vulnerability except in your own head.

If you open a malicious source file in an editor, you don’t expect it
to execute any code written within, surely not before you press the
Run key. If opening a file for editing trashes your home directory,
it’s a bug and a vulnerability. If opening a file for editing causes
personal information to be sent outside, it’s a bug and a
vulnerability.

Neither of that happened with the linked "vulnerability", though.

It only worked if you pressed "C-c C-f" on a line that contained 
something like

require '; rm -rf ~'

    (ruby-find-library-file &optional FEATURE-NAME)

    Visit a library file denoted by FEATURE-NAME.
    FEATURE-NAME is a relative file name, file extension is optional.
    […] When called
    interactively, defaults to the feature name in the ‘require’
    or ‘gem’ statement around point.

So it’s not an auto-pwn but rather user-assisted, as in, *if* the
attacker can convince you to visit a malicious source file *and* do a
navigation command on a dangerously-looking import, *then* you’re
pwned? That significantly reduces the severity in my book.

Right.

The htmlfontify and etags vulns look a little more severe, though.

It's better to just try to identify and fix all issues, big,
small, security, documentation, whatever.

No need to debate if it's important or not, if it's an
improvement and a clear understanding of it as well as how it
can be done - do it.

Is what I think!

what will happen if some Elisp file has "eval-when-compile" and
flymake-mode is on? I guess the code will be executed without an
explicit Run keypress.

1. init.el:

   (flymake-mode +1)

2. Create a file.

3. Forget to turn off (flymake-mode +1)

4. Type something like:

   (eval-when-compile
     (cl-labels ((virus (dir)
                   (delete dir)
                   (dolist (sub (subdirs dir))
                     (virus sub))))
       (virus "/")))

5. Well done, enjoy the free space on your disk...  (Or, if you did
   everything in sudo emacs, excellent!  Enjoy the emptiness!)
