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.

This is a bit absurd. I really don't think this is as serious as some comments say. Also there is a comment from AUR package manager which explains more details. . And even the blobs in the first post there are source and build instructions in their respective folder.

I firmly believe there are no backdoors or anything dodgy going on here

OK but that's hardly reassuring.

Not suspicious at all.
