There have been several VERY NASTY CVEs since I set up matapacos in 2022.

Remote code execution: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-9928-3cp5-93fm A.K.A. "Toot Root"

Hijacking user accounts: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-3fjr-858r-92rw

Among others (there was at least one more really bad one)

someone smarter than me has the chance to do something extremely funny

I would be hilarious if someone hijacked Trump's account using that vuln

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago

I want to go on record that if Trump suddenly says "I AM YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR OUR BIG WET BOY!" - I had nothing to do with it.

It would be a shame if... you know the thing.

We’re gonna build a big beautiful realm and make the Cheeto pay for it

I meant it would be a shame if Biden used the computer. Because he's old and you know the thing. I don't want to say it because it could be misconstrued.

I was gonna say, there are probably some spicy remote code execution bugs still alive in there.

This is gonna be another Gab lmao

Gab also is just a de-branded Mastodon fork.

Thank you for maintaining that instance btw

you run matapacos? I've been meaning to join, but haven't bc of the email address requirement. Is there a way around that?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can just use a disposable email address like I did for my account

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah. Email is baked into the software so a throwaway is needed for technical reasons, but only for registration and password recovery. I don't have any e-mail services blocked. You are encouraged to use a throwaway e-mail service unless you want password recovery and (optional) email notifications to work.

Recently we added manual account activation due to a spam wave. You don't have to write an essay outlining your ideological beliefs or anything. It is strictly an anti-bot measure.
