Passthrough drive to kvm kicksecure

I am wondering if pcie passthrough or sata controller passthrough to a kicksecure vm would pose any security issues? Planning to install debian 10 and distro morph to kicksecure. Any thoughts?

Unspecific to KVM. Therefore moved from KVM forums to Support forums.

Could be re-phrased to make it unspecific to Kicksecure.

Ideally you want to abstract/isolate untrusted / less trusted / potentially insecure/malicious software from hardware.

Malware, Computer Viruses, Firmware Trojans and Antivirus Scanners

Yes, passing through devices at a the low level opens you up to firmware compromise.
