I'm downloading a map, I'm wondering if there would be a way someone could embed malware into the map, or is any map legit (provided there isn't malware alongside it)

No, unless you do something profoundly stupid. A map should just be the map folder with .dat files and a bunch of region files. If there's an .exe, obviously don't run that.

Oh you could absolutely embed malware into a map. You’d need something a bit goofy to actually make it scary, but yeah you could do some silly malware things.
If you’re sketched out about it then use https://any.run to see if there is malware. Doubt it though.

Who knows.. maybe in 5.. 10 years when the server grows bigger than hypixel, he will come online and ruin everything!
