Scripting: Security considerations
From Freeplane - free mind mapping and knowledge management software
If unconstrained Scripts in Freeplane nearly can do everything with your computer so be very careful...
- with scripts from persons that you don't know,
- with maps that contain scripts, and
- when writing your own scripts.
That said scripts in Freeplane are less dangerous than macros contained in Office document since there are no hooks that may start scripts on load of a map or on start of Freeplane. Every script invocation is triggered by you alone so the best advice might be this:
- think twice before installing a script,
- think twice before executing a script,
and everything should be save.
