I’m not saying those things are safe but isn’t the attack surface pretty limited if you are behind NAT/a pretty basic firewall? The only connection to the internet should be the device reaching out to a server and asking for an update from time to time, it shouldn’t really be reachable from the outside. Unless the update server is compromised too, I don’t really see what can happen.
