I can think of one concern about downloading and installing it, the NSA might be interested in who uses it. No need for anything malicious in the code, they just watch to see who downloads it.

But it's hosted on Github. And some distros have ghidra in official repos.

Is Snowden already forgotten? Doesn't matter where it's hosted, NSA still knows who downloaded it.

Insofar as they know everything anyone downloads from Github, sure.
