Is it safe to add "." to the Linux PATH variable? [closed]

This question is a duplicate of Is it safe to add . to my PATH? How come?


This is in the context of the user's PATH variable.

I can't number why, but somehow I got the impression it's a bad idea to add . to your linux PATH for security reasons. I couldn't find anyone else asking this question, so now I think I may have been mistaken.

From a security perspective, is it dangerous to add . to the user PATH?
