(nvd.nist.gov) submitted 2 years ago by cypherpunks@lemmy.ml to c/technology@lemmy.world 33 comments fedilink hide all child comments Chrome was updated September 11 Electron updated September 12 Matrix Element Desktop updated September 15, without a changelog or advisory. (The Element update on September 13 did not include the updated electron with the fix; today's update does, according to their announcement on Matrix.) Many/most electron apps don't receive timely security updates, so if you don't want arbitrary images to be able to get code execution you might want to stop using them.
