Well, that depends how paranoid you are. It used to be intrinsically
insecure (only prompting the user for things known to be dicey) and has
been improved over the years (always prompting unless told that it's
safe), but there are so many variables marked as "safe" that might be
used in unexpected ways by so many packages that "intrinsically secure"
sounds naive.
More specifically, I'd be *very* surprised if there aren't any "big
security holes" waiting to be exploited in Emacs.

Yes. I think that's what keeps you safe.
