Sorry I have no experience with latexmk. At least a fallback should be 
available if this script is not installed.

The LaTeX preview feature is close to dangerous per se. With latexmk the 
barrier may be even lower. Some users may have -shell-escape enabled in 
latexmk configuration. I hope, it is not possible to force latexmk 
execute something weird by spitting a crafted message into logs.

I have no idea how to enable preview for trusted files only without 
ruining usability.
