Mull & Fennec Vulnerability (infosec.pub)

So I went to update my apps and was greeted with these warnings in FDroid. A quick and basic search online and in various communities yielded no news regarding a major compromise in Fennec and Mull, does anyone know more about this or have you seen any news regarding a vulnerability? Curious if this is a false positive or if there is something going on with firefox forks.

You could also just disable it if you want to keep your settings, addons etc.

True, but the config settings should be good Form the get go, that's the reason the app exitists after all and ublck and noscript are installed fast. But thanks for the tip :)
