I'm just curious to know if this aerobiclly brewed compost tea people are
selling is potentially dangerous.


Sure if it sits around and isn't used soon after it is made (or
opened in the case of a commercial product). Mere exposure to
air in a garden situation leaves it open to contamination, and
the longer (or more often) the exposure that more likely there
will be baddies getting in an fermenting in that nutrient soup.

Buy (or make) it and use it! But again, benefits are small --
either as a fertilizer or a fungicide.
