    Sorry, I meant “assuming one has complete control over the client source” where the remote cannot just change it on you.

      I mean they can make a sneaky update to the client that introduces such changes.

      Sure, if you won’t update your client, this won’t affect you, but would potentially open you up to security vulnerabilities.

        This was a real concern with MEGA back in the day (after Kim said you should no longer trust them) and a big reason why I prefer to use standalone client apps that I can control the source of.
