Piefed.zip back online!
Hi All,
Just a heads up that Piefed.zip has returned!
Now that security fixes have been implemented, I feel Piefed is in a safe place to allow people to use again.
The original disclosure included a bug that allowed an attacker to send unsigned Create activities and have them processed as legitimate. The additional vulnerabilities allowed anyone with an account to ban any other user, and a couple of other attacks that could lead to an attacker gaining control of an account.
While serious, Rimu has fixed these quickly and we're able to bring Piefed.zip back to life. There will be some time before federation catches back up, please do expect federation delays.
Thanks
Demigodrick
It was so cold out there on lemmy. I'm glad to be back home.
Logging back on!
Thank you for bringing it back online, glad the security issues have been fixed up now
So does anyone else have their post formatting buttons gone now that the instance is back up?
I'll pull the latest version, let me know if they return
Still gone :(
Must have been removed at source - ive pulled the latest code so im guessing its being reworked
Thanks for the fix. May I ask if federation is still backlogged?
No rush, just wondering if it is known:
A post I made on lemmy.zip during the outage still hasn't made it to piefed.zip.
Also, the outage announcement thread has 0 replies on piefed.zip while there are 26 on lemmy.zip.
