hackideiomat··on Domain Spoofing Vuln in Status Android Wallet
This android wallet has an internal browser and it incorrectly strips www. from hosts. This also affects their permission system, meaning this is the perfect bug to phish users.

They didn't answer multiple mails in 30 days, so it's being disclosed.

hackideiomat··on Kagi Changelog 2/13: Faster and more accurate instant answers and Wikipedia page
Don't get me wrong, I do use kagi. but it's not nearly what I wish it'd be.

Maybe MetaGer if you can live with their quality
hackideiomat··on Kagi Changelog 2/13: Faster and more accurate instant answers and Wikipedia page
Oh yes because of the CSP. The CSP that allows forms that can change your settings... you could easily use the above bug to get some impact with an additional click on a form's submit button.

Admittedly, no full XSS anymore, but still dangerous and shows their lack of understanding and caring about security.

It's not the only place you can inject HTML and not every page has a CSP...

Go look at MetaGer, they solved that issue
hackideiomat··on Kagi Changelog 2/13: Faster and more accurate instant answers and Wikipedia page
Ha, exactly! They rarely fix bugs.

E.g., XSS / HTML injection in summarizer or discuss document. Or their broken CSP which allows injecting forms to e.g., change settings.

They haven't fixed many reported issues in a while, and just to prove I'm not lying: https://kagi.com/discussdoc?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkagi.com%2Fcha...

hackideiomat··on The Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps
Sending network packets. Like, I send you a big array of bytes and you write it to a small buffer and therefore I overwrite unintended data.

hackideiomat··on Kagi Search – Paywalled articles indicator and improved weather widget
Do you still use other search engines?

You should start to do your everyday searches on both and compare the results. For me, this showed that kagi can save me time, I'm rarely scrolling to find good results where on DDG or Google I'd rephrase and search again often.

I don't like Kagi for other things, but that's not the topic here.
