OpenStego is a steganography application that provides two functionalities: a) Data Hiding: It can hide any data within an image file. b) Watermarking: Watermarking image files with an invisible signature. It can be used to detect unauthorized file copying.
There is nothing malicious in OpenStego. This has to be a false positive. Anyone can go through the code and build the same binary using build scripts available in the sources.
