Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months - Lemmy.one

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.

Hey guys open source is great you can look at all the code and therefore there are no security backdoors etc. Also here are a bunch of pre-compiled blobs in the repo, don’t worry about those, but they are required to run the program.

The fact that people know there are pre-compiled blobs in open source means they have an informed reason to avoid the software!
