KWin supports loading scripts at runtime through a dbus interface. Though we don't accept the code directly, but a path to a file to load.

So from security perspective: never seems to have been a problem in KWin. And also no much difference to not providing it: install script in data dir, enabled in config, send dbus signal for KWin to reconfigure.
