I am not sure what you are getting at. Those don't occur on the web and are not an issue with desktop apps you install. If a desktop app wants to run a bash command, it can do it. It doesn't need to find a bash injection.
There isn't easily exploitable issues like XSS on the desktop. Meaning, if you run a desktop app you generally don't have to worry that some rogue code is injected into the app, unless the developers keys are stolen which is rare.
