    An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

    • I'm not an expert in security, but I noticed that the Windows version of RustDesk, an open-source remote desktop software, installs a Chinese root certificate to the Windows `Trusted Root Certification Authorities` with all purposes enabled. There's a discussion on GitHub (https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444) where one of the maintainers states the certificates are for driver code signing, but doesn't explain why they need to be placed in `Trusted Root Certification Authorities` with all purposes permissions instead of just for code signing. Does anyone more experienced in security have a take on this?
