This code perhaps be used for code injections

YES! Finally someone gets it. I’ve been saying this for years.
In fact I said it here 2 days ago …

Is there a C API equivalent for the Ruby API's read_default and write_default?

On Windows that value is stored as a DWORD which these API methods could never handle. So it always returns nil in those cases. These methods can only read string values, but they Ruby eval them so this often causes errors, ie: Sketchup.read_default("Settings","Shortcut_1").inspect #=> Error: #<SyntaxError: <main>: syntax error, unexpected tINTEGER, expecting end-of-input #=> 0 0 0 H selectDollyTool: #=> ^> #=> <main>:1:in `eval' And there is no way to intercept the error and get the pr…

Everything read back is passed into eval() to reproduce the original object.

… and yes it was very unsafe ! Why else do you think they’ve switched to JSON parsed strings ?

Much much safer !
