There are many attack vectors with a dump like this. Running any make, mvn, cargo build, ./configure, etc command can run arbitrary code on your system. These can be added by the anonymous uploader or yandex themselves (they could add a dependency to some tracking site to get your IP as the most basic example).
There can also be dangerous git hooks. you're basically downloading a malicious exe, and any seemingly harmless command could be dangerous
