I always carry with me a bootable Linux pendrive and I refuse to do anything risky in an OS other than Linux so I see that form of code sharing as not a security risk.
On the other hand anyone using MS windows should be very fearful of this. The risks are obviously multiple and potentially very serious. I even see serious national security risks in it (remember, the nastiest crimeware artists are based in Russia and China and we wouldn0t want them having privileged access to classified information about windows.)
