Looks like the instance is on the latest RC which includes the fix for the vulnerability.
I think the lemmy.world admin posted on his official Mastodon.
If you run the instance only for yourself then I'd say it makes you an unattractive target. Why do a lot of work to hack an instance with one user?
But yeah, since Lemmy's code is not super mature there'll be some pains in the short term.
Oops indeed. Lemmy needs a security audit 😬
Realizing this blew my mind. Definitely more interesting than following people.
I'd wager you're likely fine if you're using a mobile app when the affected image loads. Also, it appears they're stealing auth tokens.. not passwords or anything. At worst they could impersonate you until your token expires.. but you're not a high value target unless you're an admin of an instance.
What kind of terrible markdown editor allows adding onload scripts to images though.. it's insane.
If it's onload then simply viewing the image runs that script. Yikes.
For me at least.
Looks like they enforced rate limits an hour before midnight UTC.
This is the first year it flowers, hoping to get fruit this year.
I like that imgur removes exif data, any recommendations that do that too?
I took a look at a few posted and they don't appear to do so.
