For one thing, they live on the filesystem. If somebody has read/write access
to your filesystem, you have much bigger problems than what th
can do to your external methods. e.g. rm -f var/Data.fs.

For another thing, you can control via zope's security interface who
has permission to add External Methods. So you can restrict them to
trusted developers.

At least, I think that's the idea...
