Suboptimal ways to respond to a public security incident
(lemmy.stuart.fun)
This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly "we're handling it and removing this" is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see. Especially as the admins of that instance have not yet upgraded the frontend version to apply the urgent fix.
It's not like this was a confidential bug fix, this is a zero day being actively exploited. Please be more cooperative and open regarding these issues in your own administration if you're hosting an instance. 🙏
I think the authoritative source should be the GitHub repo. A security advisory should be posted there with references to outside resources as necessary.
checks all the boxes - authoritative (authenticated user accounts), central location, not on fediverse, already relatively well-known by lemmy users and provides visibility to remediation. It's a good idea.
