Go at least will never run arbitrary package code as part of a go get / go build / go install.

Only the resulting binary might contain malicious code, but the build and package management part is guaranteed safe.

In addition, go installs the oldest viable version that matches constraints - dependencies are thus not only locked, but also don’t automatically update to the newest available version during relocking unless explicitly requested by the user or another dependency.
