MODERATORS
We have yet to confirm if a vulnerability exists in the sidebars that can be set by community mods.
can you temporally take away the ability for mods to put html or any kinda script into the sidebar, at least for now?
No. Unfortunately. This is not a confirmed vector of attack at this point but we are monitoring.
That would essentially be patching the vulnerability. A temporary fix would be just preventing the sidebar from being editable.
(Ideally the vulnerability would be patched, but these things take time.)
At this point it doesn't seem like community sidebars have the voulnerabilty. We are fairly confident that they have identified the voulnerabilty and that lemmy.ca is safe as long as our admin accounts are properly locked down which we have confirmed.
Oh, good! That's excellent then.
