Looks like a massive vulnerability has been discovered, basically affecting any apps with web browsing functionality. Was interested in seeing how this affects Sync (including the old Sync for Reddit app I guess too, which is still being used out there and won’t get any needed security patches).

It sounds like a fix should be in the Android OS security patch for October, but not sure if that protects individual apps at risk still

    Yeah most of the old reddit browsers for Android seem to have a patch like this. Obviously they’re no longer intended for use by the developers, but for anyone using them it would probably be good to know whether they will be forever at risk to a vulnerability like this.
