In order for the script to be harmful to you, it would need to be installed and executed in your computer*. All the scripts can do to you, if you don't have them in your computer, is annoy you, like in this case.

Personally, I'm surprised that the script is even allowed in the DB.

Again, all you can do in this case is turn off nudges, block them, or better yet, tell them to stop bugging you.

There is not much you can do about others' scripts, since they don't affect your WLM. All they can do is send you things. (pft, I repeated myself)

* The harmful script could also send you a file, but if you don't use the "auto-accept" feature, you wouldn't need to worry about it. And links can be blocked or ignored.
