That's a you issue. Always backup your files and check the source code

Dude, I installed the plugin thinking it was controlled by yours. The real danger is that it may be in stronger viruses. So I'm asking you, can dangerous viruses be made using your library?

I didn't know about that. The problem is that I don't get a warning during installation. I switched to visual studio code software and it warned me about plugins in that software.
