Security vulnerabilities in third-party applications

Viewed 61
The post discusses a recent security incident involving a vulnerability that allowed code execution on numerous popular apps. The founder of ToDesktop acknowledged the mistake that led to this situation, stating they have restructured their security practices following internal and external audits. The comments reveal broader concerns about the risk associated with third-party services, suggesting that granting extensive access and exposing sensitive files (like package.json and source maps) increases vulnerability. There is criticism directed towards developers and the ecosystem as a whole for seemingly inadequate security measures, especially within the JavaScript/TypeScript domain.
