Yesterday I installed a 3rd party add-on (on my RaPI), but I immediately regretted it cause I felt like I compromised the security of my Raspberry 
Obviously most of this thought is just me being paranoid, but I was wondering: If I delete/disable the add-on, and it was indeed malicious, could it have a way that it infected my whole system and that uninstalling it won't make a difference? I was wondering, what kind of things an add-on do? I've installed just a Subtitles addon. But can it execute arbitrary code for example? Can it use system calls and access the whole filesystem?
Thanks in advance.
