Hey there, in case you had not noticed it, we released Friendica 2024.02-rc on Wednesday. Among the unlisted things in the release note are bug fixes for two security/privacy related bugs that have been found in 2023.12.

If you have not yet updated to the 2024.03-RC, personally I would encourage you to do so (or to the latest development branch, there the fixes are included as well). The RC branch is pretty stable and we aim for a release as early in March as possible.

In case you have not installed Friendica using git, but with the archive files, please have a look at the 2023.12 release notes and pick the latest archives from files.friendi.ca (there is already a friendica-full-2024.03-rc archive, but for the addons you need to take the friendica-addons-2024.03-dev archive as the RC branch had not seen any commits for the addons so far).

One of the bug fixed in this RC seems quite serious to me (not sure what the other one is though). It allows exploits similar to those targeting a recent Mastodon CVE, so you (and any admins reading this) should definitely update as soon as possible.
If you are using Docker, the 2024.03-dev tag seems to contain the fix already (still not sure that the other fix though), so probably you can try that. (However, 2024.03-dev may be less stable than 2024.03-rc.)
