* expands to all the files in the current working directory, as can be
seen with:
echo *
if you just run:

then you will be running the first file of them.
*But* if you have a program that allows to provide an arbitrary "*" as
the first command parameter, it would allow inserting the name of other
unwanted programs, too. Which is more concerning.
