Man that’s why I don’t use Arch. it’s the wild west.
In seeking to have all the latest bleeding edge software updates, you end up with malade like this because nobody has time to properly check anything .
AUR is kinda the wild west. But also, in today’s cybersecurity climate, you really shouldn’t expect zero vulnerabilities. You should, however, expect prompt reporting of incidents. If you believe that no news is good news, then you’re burying your head in the sand.
That’s a good point.
The same can be said with flatpaks.
Absolutely.
Just be aware of what you are installing. And do your best to audit your system regularly. Switching to a bleeding edge distro, and using thebAUr absolutely comes with risks. But it is up to the user to be aware of what they are installing. This goes for any OS. Be aware of what you are installing.
This can happen on any OS you install software willy nilly with no thought behind it.
