Went to Alacritty. No mentions of security.

Went to Ghostty. No mentions of security, except for "secure keyboard entry".

None have a "security policy" on GitHub.

All written in memory unsafe languages (C, Zig).

Of course the other abouts that you whatted (such as random curl install scripts, binaries, etc.) are still more dangerous.

> The integer overflow provides uncontrolled access to the heap, which reliably crashes the client process but is unlikely to achieve remote code execution in practice. Weaponizing the overflow for code execution would require a separate information disclosure vulnerability to defeat ASLR, along with a specific heap layout to place exploitable structures adjacent to the undersized allocation.

> abouts that you whatted

"Whataboutism" is perhaps the most infuriating and wildly misused word in the English language. Pointing out that somebody is scaremongering about an action that is significantly less dangerous than other everyday actions people take on their computers is not a fallacy. It is directly relevant to evaluating risk. Yes, technically there could be some critical bug that allows the posited thing to happen, but in reality it just doesn't happen. If it did happen, nobody would blow their once-in-decades exploit on pranking some people on a forum.
