521At the moment, rust-analyzer assumes that all code is trusted.
522Here is a **non-exhaustive** list of ways to make rust-analyzer execute arbitrary code:
523
524* proc macros and build scripts are executed by default
525* `.cargo/config` can override `rustc` with an arbitrary executable
526* VS Code plugin reads configuration from project directory, and that can be used to override paths to various executables, like `rustfmt` or `rust-analyzer` itself.
527* rust-analyzer's syntax trees library uses a lot of `unsafe` and hasn't been properly audited for memory safety.
528
529rust-analyzer itself doesn't access the network.
530The VS Code plugin doesn't access the network unless the nightly channel is selected in the settings.
531In that case, the plugin uses the GitHub API to check for and download updates.
