LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Unicode in Program Listing (again...)

[Bernt Lie]

I'm not using gnuplot at all. But I assume you mean that as long as I have produced the input (e.g., Unicode files, plots, etc.), there should be no problem.

The script that you call can run any code using the gnuplot "system"
call. That is the same as having access to a shell...

If the gnuplot files that you use are your own, or from one that you trust, then there is no risk... or actually the same risk that you had if you run the script outside of LyX.
