Maybe the admin got hacked?


edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Pretty much, and it’s not even XSS (it’s not cross-site), it’s just plain basic HTML injection breaking out of Markdown. At least as far as I was able to find.

XSS is a blanket term for vulnerabilities that allows attackers to inject client-side scripts. Looks like someone is already identified and submitted a pull request that contain a fix: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1897/files
