Ventoy is a tool to make a USB with multiple ISOs bootable, letting you select which ISO to use on boot. Another newly-created account claims to be the dev’s friend and translator and has received no contact from the maintainer.

I understand the concern raised, but unless I’m reading this wrong there is an assumption that Ventoy may be doing something untoward, but I’m not sure how at this level. It can’t inject anything into the ISO files at rest without bricking then, and I don’t know if an OS that doesn’t verify it’s own image before booting.
Just sounds like super lazy project administration. Maybe I’m missing something?
The xz issue is something totally different though. That was a software library running and executing against flat files. I’m just not sure there’s a way to alter an ISO image before boot, undetected in the case of Ventoy.
If the goal is to alter files to provide access to something, this must be some sort of ingenious way that bypasses checksums, and targets something universal, which doesn’t seem quite possible in the case of a substitute bootloader.
Yeah, it would be really big. I wouldn’t have posted about this if it weren’t for the radio silence and blabbering statement.
