Help Is mastercomfig codebase malicious?

https://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussions/0/727997144358760152/

Was trying to figure out why my music was bugged on jumpacademy.tf dedicated server 1's map (think map called jump_academy2_rc9a). For some reason, the music just becomes creepy voices and whispering on this map alone.

Happened across this one's steam discussion board, not really sure if it's real or not. Not experienced enough to understand and see if there's malicious code in mastercomfig. I haven't seen anything bad about it before, maybe these guys are trolling?

mastercomfig has nothing in it but source engine console commands. the entire thing is just cfg files and none of them execute malicious code. the steam forums meanwhile are a cesspool where anybody can just say anything they want if the dev of the game isn't watching them, and valve isn't really watching them.
