From what I understood, it's the torrent link that downloads a compromised zip file rather then the authentic image:

"Torrent downloads over at https://xubuntu.org/download/ are serving a zip file with a suspicious exe and a tos.txt inside. The TOS starts with Copyright (c) 2026 Xubuntu.org which is sus, because it is 2025. I opened the .exe with file-roller and couldn't find any .torrent inside."

... This is a thing?

don't know about file roller but you can do this in 7-zip to peek at self-extracting archives

Yes, an exe is just some glorified container format.
