(as I and others have mentioned in the thread): The attacker can just move the malicious code from build.rs to lib.rs (ie. build-time -> test/execution-time).

Then the problem is the language, as the grandparent observes.



Sure, but I don't expect build to execute arbitrary code. That's a big difference.

It's like if `git clone` ran random stuff from the cloned repo.
