Your Gitlab issue is a textbook example of why open source devs quit. And now you’re wandering around trying to drum up a mob to further pressure people to do free work for you.
Hope that helps.
As of this point in time, nobody has explained to me why it would be a bad idea to add a "Do not rely on for privacy. More info" message next to the feature in Evolution Mail.
That is 100% true. Users of Evolution Mail should not rely on that feature for privacy. Because Evolution Mail has chosen to add known flawed software to their application.
And despite lacking the will or ability to fix that software, they are unwilling to take a different path to patch over the problem until it is fixed in the library, by sanitising the html and stripping problematic tags/attributes.
These are all their choices. And all of their choices lead to end users being exposed to a privacy risk, and unaware of it.
It's unacceptable to sit on a privacy affecting bug like this for 15 months.
This continously repeated bullshit that the source of the problem lies elsehwere is tiring. They're knowingly using a library with a security bug, and they're doing:
1. Nothing to get the devs of that library to fix it
2. Nothing to fix the library themselves
3. Nothing to warn their users
4. Nothing in their local application to protect their users.
This is not how secure development works.
