There’s plenty of posts on the topic about Lemmy.world being compromised, followed by the exploit being tracked back to an XSS exploit that I believe works on instances with custom emojis enabled. Many instances have been quick to jump on this such as feddit.uk and Behaw which took itself down temporarily.
Does this affect sh.itjust.works?
If so what are the admins doing about it?
Can we get some sort of admin post about this? Last update from them was some time ago.
Hopefully the admins have 2FA enabled on their accounts.
2fa could be bypassed. Didn’t matter.
All instances were equally vulnerable. But not all were targeted.
Theres been advice on mitigations to prevent this particular vulnerability. If your instance has implemented them, shouldn’t be a problem.
A UI fix should be pushed shortly.
