Undefined method "untaint"

[SamuraiDestroy]

When attempting to extract the VBIOS from the latest ASUS TUF A15 FA507NV BIOS update exe, it returns the following error:
/home/SamuraiDestroy/Downloads/VBiosFinder-master/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.2.0/gems/bundler-1.17.3/lib/bundler/shared_helpers.rb:272:in search_up': undefined method `untaint' for "/home/SamuraiDestroy/Downloads/VBiosFinder-master":String (NoMethodError)

This error occurs because the untaint method has been removed in Ruby 3.3.0, and Bundler 1.17.3 is trying to use it. To fix this, you'll need to update Bundler to a version compatible with Ruby 3.3.01. Here’s how you can do it:

Update RubyGems: Ensure RubyGems is up to date:
gem update --system

Install Bundler: Install or update Bundler to a version compatible with Ruby 3.3.0:
gem install bundler

Update Bundler: Update your project's Bundler version:
bundle update --bundler

Run Bundle Install: Finally, run bundle install again:
bundle install --path=vendor/bundle

This should resolve the issue. Does this help?

gem update --system didn't work but everything else did just fine. I ran VBIOSFinder again and now the error is

I'm assuming I don't need UPX since it's an .exe file and anyway I had trouble trying to install it.

[sechmachine727]

I could send you an upx executable, but it might be worth checking out this: #56

[SamuraiDestroy]

I don't really understand #50 since it says /usr/bin/uefiextract but I don't have that. Is it somewhere inside of UEFITool?

UEFITool Repo has UEFIExtract, a separate executable. But named uefiextract (lowercase) by default. Since Linux is case sensitive so you have to rename it. But first made sure you put UEFIExtract executable in 3rdparty dir.

[SamuraiDestroy]

I can't find the UEFIExtract executable, where is it?

Should be in this zip:

That link just leads to a blank page.
Edit: I found the executable on the UEFITool page, going to try it again now
Edit 2: It works now! It output an exe file and a bin file though, is that supposed to happen?
Edit 3 (This is kind of getting stupid): So I'm trying to get the ROM for this since NVflash didn't work properly and it says there's supposed to be text somewhere under char that says "VIDEO" but ctrl+f says it doesnt have it. I checked both the exe and the bin file.

[sechmachine727]

Can you give me the rom file, see if I could extract it? This tool depends on luck tho. Did not extract the vbios ROM from my old laptop either (Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52 2018)
