A complex message from space may require the use of computers to display, analyze and understand. Such a message cannot be decontaminated with certainty, and technical risks remain which can pose an existential threat.
If its pure machine code designed to be executed on Intel compatible processors , or some highlevel programming language.
Yes. Same risk as downloading any arbitrary program or app on your computer or device.
But a datafile, image or sound message not so much..
In the end its up to the humans to f*ck up
And thats one thing they are excelent in doing.
