While it's probably fine, it's also worth remembering the FBI's Operation Trojan Shield happened. Similar state sponsored APTs would be very happy to get into such a privileged position.
I really don’t see why there are so many people around saying “it’s probably fine”
In my personal opinion shit like this is probably not fine at all.
For me that's an uninstall unfortunately and looking for another solution at the moment.
is it because it's onerous to read the source?
Yes. It’s very very hard to read the source and know there’s no security bug in it. That’s 10x truer when the security bugs are potentially on purpose, and carefully hidden.
i would run a diff on the previous version compared to the current one.
