Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.

You can see our official post about this at https://pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malicious-plugin/

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.

Did some malware reversing for the community this week in response to someone attempting to SE a malicious plugin into @pidgin a major open-source project. The project maintainer ( @grimmy) was very quick to respond, pulling security folks in immediately

Additionally, this led to the furtherance of their transparency policy, requiring all code for all plugins to be open-sourced for community review.

Supply Chain Attacks come from all angles, including code you don't compile or distribute, but users may still install and taint the reputation of your application.
