I love how @FFmpeg is conducting themselves online. It's a project that's created billions of dollars in actual value and has captured practically none of it. Their stance seems to be simple: fund substantial development or STFU with the requests. Pretty easy to understand. If FFmpeg had a good leader that balanced itself, captured some of the created value as funding, and scaled the project to its deserved resources, it'd be a different situation; but that's not the case and there's no reason to expect more out of unpaid volunteers.

As maintainer of React Native CLI I learned about this vulnerability today, and actually the issue only existed in two versions of CLI (v19, v18), so React Native v0.80 and v0.81. ‼️ Starting from CLI v9 (~3 years ago), so from React Native v0.70 URL validation was included to prevent using different protocol than http/https, so users between v0.70 and v0.80 (majority of CLI users) are not affected. [0] The check was removed during a refactor which we didn't spot when reviewing the PR. We released v20.0.2 in September with the fix for the vulnerability. I've just cherry-picked and released 2 patch versions for other affected ➡️v19.1.2 for RN v0.81 ➡️v18.0.1 for RN v0.80 Please use relevant CLI version for each React Native major version. Updating to latest 20.x version is not supported when your project is using older React Native, it might work but wasn't tested and is not recommended. Learn more here: [1].
