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.
her claim was that “Lemmygrad doesn’t allow HTML in its markdown parser”
Well yeah we should be fine if there’s not another exploit, I see Hexbear and other instances have already patched it and resetted the login tokens
