Free Themes</div>
<div><br></div>Just a suggestion...
<div><br></div>
<div>In WordPress core itself, if we add some preventive measures like:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Showing a warning on "upload" theme page about possible threats/security
issues when user lands on that page
</li><li>Running security check on uploaded theme - similar to checks which run
when theme-developers upload theme here</li></ol></div>
<div>We can think of more ways!</div>
