FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?


edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Some information I have posted to Lemmy.World:

I am not a super code-literate person so bare with me on this... But. Still please becareful. There appears to be a vulnerability.

Users are posting images like the following:

https://imgur.com/a/RS4iAeI

And inside hidden is JavaScript code that when executed can take cookie information and send it to a URL address.

Among other things. At this time if you see an image please click the icon circled before clicking the link. DO NOT CLICK THE IMAGE. If you see anything suspicious, please report it immediately. It is better a false report than a missed one.

I have seen multiple posts by these people during the attack. It is most certainly related to JS.

Wtf how is this even possible? Are the Lemmy devs smoking crack? If you're going to run a reddit alternative, it may be wise to sanitize the fuck out of everything posted on there.

Please feel free to perform a full security audit.

Not really helpful though is it? It's like going to a friend's house and asking why there is a sink hole in the middle of the floor that everyone is walking around, and they say "feel free get a hammer out".

the threadiverse wasn’t exactly popular until the reddit exodus

id probably flip it: are lemmy users smoking crack? if you’re going to run to a reddit alternative, it’d be wise not to choose alpha software!

Little Bobby Tables strikes again

Now seriously, people forget that Lemmy is alpha software, and Kbin is even younger

[-] girl@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

well Reddit was hacked so lemmy is still on track

¯_(ツ)_/¯ Lemmy.
