What are the security implications of doing this? Can any arbitrary code be executed via ERB?

That's a fair question. Yes, is the short answer, arbitrary code can be executed. But that's also kind of the point, eg. to allow executing a shell
git
command to determine which files to apply a cop to dynamically.This is the way that RuboCop itself does the pre-processing, so is at least no worse than that?
Also, RuboCop is a tool that is only intended for use at development/CI time, at which point you are executing arbitrary code anyway, in order to test it.
What specific concerns did you have @gylaz?

FYI @gylaz, in case you hadn't seen it, I opened an issue with RuboCop to ask about this.
