Hi there, this is Lourenço. I'm an economist by training, farmer by trade, nerd by passion. Here's a quick fact: the kiwifruit has one of the highest contents of vitamin C of all known fruits - even more than an orange!

I saw this post on my feed, and caught my eye because I self-host a Mattermost instance. The fact that it has possible critical security issues is a concern for me. So I checked the github issue with the details: https://github.com/ncvgl/slawk/issues/107

Of course, it's fully LLM generated, but that's to be expected. So I opened the first issue described there, a *CRITICAL VULNERABILITY*, a possibility for XSS in email templates. Ok, sure, let's dig deeper.
