Mull & Fennec Vulnerability (infosec.pub)

So I went to update my apps and was greeted with these warnings in FDroid. A quick and basic search online and in various communities yielded no news regarding a major compromise in Fennec and Mull, does anyone know more about this or have you seen any news regarding a vulnerability? Curious if this is a false positive or if there is something going on with firefox forks.

I get an incompatibility error after adding their repo to FDroid.

Signatures are different. Uninstall old FDroid version first
