Not sure since I have no data, but I believe 90% of nulled themes contain malicious script.
No problem if you know how to find and tame them.
However, since you are asking this, please just don't.

It depends where you are sourcing them, if its off a random website then your risk is high.
If you are downloading from established members that have bought them here, then risk is low.
Always still a risk though. Even with a bought one lol.

Best to stay away. Pay the fee dollars and support the developer and stay safe. Also you'll get updates automatically when the developer updates the theme for the new version of WordPress

Stay away from nulled themes. Mostly they include a backdoor with shit scripts.

I started out with nothing but nulled theme back in the days. It's definitely not worth the risk because these themes usually come with backdoor scripts and malware. Eventually your site gets hacked and you lose all rankings on Google search engine. I had to learn it the hard way.

Pretty much a pirated version of the theme. Typically people install backdoors and other code into the theme, that will allow them access to your site. Typically this doesn't end well. Either with your getting messed up/and losing rankings.

Usually nulled themes can be found on suspicious websites which are full of ads and can lead you to another websites with similar content. It doesn’t work properly and some of the functions are missed. When your website is damaged by hacked themes it can be used as a platform that leads to low-ranked pages like loading, betting or other questionable websites. The consequence of such activity is dropping of your search rank.
