You could also hide a crypto miner in a mod, conceivably.  While we're brainstorming the 'what could go wrong?'  

And you're right.. .you CAN peek around inside a compiled piece of software...  but...  I just don't know of anyone who's taking the time to do so with KSP mods!      

it literally takes the time it takes to drag an icon from one window to another, then you do ctrl+f and then you look for 'socket' or 'webrequest'...[snip]

As we were discussing... those aren't thew only two methods that can be used for nefarious purposes.   Instead of going line by line through mod code, I manage my risks (and accept the ones I'm too lazy to manage otherwise.
