we are talking about a change in ~/.bash_profile here which sources
~/.bashrc. If you are thinking of scenarios where these files are not
sourced, then the PATH is not changed in that scenarios. Therefore these
scenarios would not matter here.

Also from an attacker's perspective: The attacker can just change
multiple files if necessary.

Kind regards
