Eating squash from old seeds sprouting in compost pile

We have been eating our volunteer squash from our compost pile for years.
Then a friend saw this and warned us that it was very dangerous to do so .
Is there any truth in this warning? What might be wrong with the plants and veggies?
I can’t find anything written about it.
Thank you for your help!

I have done this many times with no ill effect! This is safe and many people plant directly into their piles on purpose.
