From e2a15cd395f1e137c680d22f83cd195caf3d6c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Bosch Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 22:31:13 +0200 Subject: rambox: unmaintain & mark as insecure Rambox hasn't had a stable release in a while and an increasing number of issues which is why I don't intend to use this anymore. While taking a closer look at the source I also realized that it uses Electron 7.2.4[1]. This is not only EOLed[2], it also contains a few security vulnerabilities which is why I decided to mark it as insecure. A few (most likely not all) vulnerabilities can be found by looking at the Electron 7 changelog[3]: after 7.2.4 there were a few more releases with security backports - mostly from Chromium. Security issues that were found later on (and are probably exploitable on the dependency chain of rambox) aren't listed here. I only added two issues that seemed applicable to `rambox`, but I haven't researched enough to check the other ones.
