You guys may want to avoid it until they can sort it out.

Thank you very much for the heads-up! Without this warning I would've gone into my day without patching this...

I've looked looked into it and it turns out that Mander was indeed vulnerable to the exploit, but I can confirm that the exploit was not used here. I've taken the steps that make us no longer vulnerable to this attack. It is best not to release more specific information here because of the nature of the exploit, but if an admin reads this and doesn't know where to find this information they can send me a private message. It is Lemmy-specific, and affects versions >= 0.18.0

EDIT: The details of the vulnerability have now been more publicly released. You can find the details here: https://mander.xyz/post/1080833

maybe just me....but there is no link

I did not link it on purpose. To save you time, tl;dr sketchy links and racial slurs.

[–] SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

seems to have been hacked...I would like a source

sketchy links with racial slurs are better than nothing

Logged in about an hour ago; promptly redirected to an image of two old men giving eachother a blowjob.

Didn't stick around long enough to grab a link lol - lemmy.world is definitely compromised at the moment.

It seems that the problem is fixed now but the fix is not yet in upstream (should be soon).
