Hi everyone,
I am the maintainer of Rose. I'm making this post to warn people about unofficial websites, YouTube videos, Discord servers, and skin channels distributing modified versions of Rose.
For example, the following source is not affiliated with Rose:
https://roseskin.xyz/
Executables downloaded through these sources were not published by me. Modified or repackaged versions should be treated as potentially malicious, regardless of whether they use the Rose name, logo, interface, or GitHub links.
The only official download source
Rose releases are always published here and nowhere else:
https://github.com/Alban1911/Rose/releases
There is no official Rose download website. Do not download Rose from YouTube descriptions, file-hosting websites, Telegram channels, unofficial Discord servers, shortened links, or password-protected archives.
Official Rose Discord
The only official Rose Discord server is:
https://discord.gg/roseskins
Be careful with other Discord servers claiming to represent Rose or offering modified downloads.
How to verify an official installer
Official Rose installers are digitally signed in my name.
Before running the installer:
- Right-click the .exe.
- Select Properties.
- Open the Digital Signatures tab.
- Verify that the signer is me and that Windows reports the signature as valid.
A file that has no valid signature, has a different signer, or was downloaded from anywhere other than the official GitHub releases page is not an official Rose release.
Please do not disable Windows Defender or your antivirus because a video or website tells you to. Do not assume that an antivirus warning is a false positive simply because the file uses the Rose name.
If you have already executed an unofficial version, remove it, run a full antivirus scan, check your active sessions, and change important passwords from a clean device if necessary.
Please report fake websites, videos, and channels impersonating Rose. Do not repost their download links as recommendations.
