It looks like W Identity, the part of @wsocial.eu that checks your papers before you go in, has a very basic XSS on its admin backend, found hours after launch. This seems almost too predictable... Cyberfriends, any thoughts on how bad? 23.social/@kantorkel/1...

As far as I know, they outsourced engineering to war-torn Ukraine because it's likely too expensive to build in the EU. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing; the Ukrainians need all the support they can get.
