Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months (github.com)

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

It sounds like most, if not all, come from upstream projects.

Would be nice if the dev can respond and confirm that...

I think they did say that in the older thread. But for proper security, you shouldn't have to trust them. You should have build tools that will re-fetch everything to create an identical build. That gives a clear chain of custody, which proves that morning has been tampered with.
