Custom visuals by Microsoft
jopezzo "Trusted" entirely depends on your company and it's security policies. From my understanding custom visuals are open sourced code, in order to make it into the custom visual gallery the code is reviewed numerous times by MSFT to ensure it works in the tool correctly. It isn't like someone submits a custom viz without review.
If you have questions what is in the code, you can always review the code behind the visual by checking on the GitHub link when you click on the custom visual in the gallery.
My opinion is that it's highly unlikely anything malicious would make it's way into one of these, it would be more for the compatibility and performance that can't be garaunteed at this point. Custom visuals aren't included in the new releases, and each custom viz owner has to make any necessary updates to continue to work with the Tool.
The one's owned by MSFT, I would assume should always work as MSFT owns them.
