I'm sitting here working on my neat little mission map using Megadroid's excellent mission mod. As I learn about the system I'm realizing its actually quite scary from a security point of view: publishing a mission mod requires the MMM loader DLL be published with it. To security conscious folks, this feels like a risk. A nefarious coder could replace the DLL with something nasty in his mission map. How do I know his mod is reasonably safe?
Is the DLL digitally signed? Is there some way to verify that a third party mod's DLL is Megadroid's?
If this DLL was shipped as part of Fleet Operations, that would help the problem from my point of view, as the creators would be vouching for the contents.
Any other security concerns?
