Depends on the PATH-Order if something is intended to be first in PATH and any attacker is able to write there his "ls" would win against "/bin/ls" ________ independent of this: if you have a package NOT INSTALLED the binary does not exist and the bin-dir in the user folder will win, if you read any article and find a useful command which you have not installed and somebody has placed a vulnerable binary in your userhome it will be executed instead "command not found" and possible very long after it was placed
