About

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Included is an integrated development environment that can be used to develop and upload code to compatible microcontrollers.

Permissions

3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • all devices (/dev): webcams, disks, raw hardware
    --device=all
  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • full access to your home folder
    --filesystem=home
  • network
    --share=network
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc

Who publishes this

On Flathub: the manifest was reviewed and built on Flathub's infrastructure, but the developer has not verified ownership of the app id.

  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source (x7)
    source:prebuilt
  • fetches from downloads.arduino.cc over unencrypted http: anyone on the path can swap the bytes (x2)
    source:insecure-url
  • on Flathub: manifest reviewed and built by Flathub; the developer has not verified the app id
    publisher:flathub
