> did you not even review the PKGBUILD or anything else before installing stuff from the AUR?

I'd venture most people actually don't review pkgbuild; especially on upgrades.

The other issue of course is that, the devils in the details. Fetch a binary as part of the installation (or, just fetch a binary itself, no compilation) then you're boned.

You can even hide nefarious code in the compilation/build steps, Jia Tan style.
