HN discussionfor this issue: https://www.pillar.security/blog/new-vulnerability-in-github... the warning is great but they could do more. Like auto remove them when you clone? or an option in settings for that. The fear is someone will send me some cool new AI repo and I'll not see that warning and just clone it and start using it.
