lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.
It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.
How can these issues still exist? Man we really should rethink how the web is build.
No, this shit is embarrassing. Nobody should be hit by Bobby Tables.
Lemmy leadership needs to re-think their priorities. They’ve entered the big leagues and are still pretending they are in the kid’s sandbox.
