An ipa file doesn’t sound like one that could get executed.

Any modified IPA could find its way up.

Apps and tweaks on the Cydia Store and many of its repositories, however, are just as safe, if not safer than apps on Apple’s App Store to even a basic user. Some Cydia Store apps were even created specifically to fix iOS security flaws (such as the exploitable PDF bug in 4.0′s Safari after JailbreakMe 2.0 was released, which Apple didn’t fix until quite a while after Cydia had a tweak for it).

It sounds quite smart to me.

Ever since discovering MSE, I have stopped paying for expensive antivirus softwares.
