Installing it may execute attacker-controlled code via install-time scripts (configure / cleanup / Makevars) or .onLoad/.onAttach hooks. Verdict path: evidence — for ownership-only paths (owner-known-bad / multi-identity) the change of ownership is a compounding indicator the engine correlated with other signals, not standalone proof.
