Synthmaker offers computer backdoor root opportunity

[HSJIII]

Synthmaker includes a feature to integrate ruby code, and it specifically allows access to dll's (also system dll's) which can potentially do anything to a user's computer. Downloaded project files for this program are therefore not "safe" to even open. This program should include a default setting to prohibit external dll code from launching without user approval. Failure to include such a setting could be catastrophic, as synthmaker could become a vector for malware. Even simply opening a synthmaker project file could execute the code. You wouldn't even have to "run it" compile it or anything.
