Poor lonelycpp. They became a target for major nations worldwide over such a dumb reason.

If I were them, I'd do anything I can to break the app immediately and force them to use anything else. I wouldn't want to be in the supply chain for an app like this where being compromised is immediately a RCE incident for a government app.

Not that it makes it "good', but the issues found seem (to me) more incompetent than nefarious, at least.

Don't know what your definition of nefarious is but to me the whole thing sounds shady as fuck from top to bottom and I'm being generous when I call it that.

To me it seems like a mix of both.
