Glad to see Lemmy is responding quick to exploits. Does Lemmy have a plan to prevent any other exploits that may be lying around such as a routine security audit?
All the code is open source, everyone is welcome to look through it for potential problems and report/fix them. we dont have any money to pay for a professional audit. Maybe there are some organizations which would do audits of open source projects for free, might be worth searching for.
We use sonarqube for code analysis that is pretty nice and has a community edition. It isn't a bullet proof solution, but it is pretty convenient for maintainers and reviewers of PRs. The only thing missing from the enterprise edition are useless flashy dashboards to show to people who don't understand computers
I do have a Sonarqube server somewhere around. Is it considered an annoying behavior to scan an open source project and open issues for others to fix?
That depends, it would be annoying if you open lots of issues for minor, unimportant issues. But if you find a few major problems its good to report them. Of course its always ideal if you submit fixes as well, because there are never enough devs.
I think its better to detect something early even if there is not a fix as it at least can be triaged and others can fix it if the original reporter is unable to devote the time or whatever

Hey one quick question.. the Ansible playbook doesn't look like it's been updated to 0.18.2 or at least the instructions don't state how to pull it. Any chance this could get fixed/clarified in the release notes?
Its updated: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/VERSION
You need to run git pull in the repo and then rerun ansible.
