Does Splunk do virus scan and malware check on all apps uploaded to apps.splunk.com?

Hi

In my understanding, apps.splunk.com is the site where developers can freely upload and share Splunk apps. I want to know whether Splunk does virus scan and malware check on all apps uploaded to apps.splunk.com when an app is uploaded to the site/repository.

I just want to make sure the apps available are safe to use in terms of malware.

Thanks

It's a sensible question, I guess @piebob or @ppablo_splunk would be able to answer this due to their staff role.

I would hope that nobody did, but as a precautionary measure I don't know whether it exists
