How 26.05b1 went

25.09.4

Security 1
  • Fix ability for untrusted decks (.apkg files) to read local files during import
What's Changed

This is a security release. Please upgrade as soon as possible using Tools > Upgrade/Downgrade.

Importing untrusted decks (.apkg files) had the ability to read local files. This has now been fixed.

Other fixes and new features will follow in the next beta release.

Many thanks to @Bankde for the excellent report and to @abdnh, @dae, and @fernandolins for the fix! 🙏🏻

Installing
  • If you're a new user, please grab the latest launcher from https://apps.ankiweb.net
  • If you already have the 25.09 launcher, you can use Tools>Upgrade/Downgrade inside Anki.
  • If you have an older launcher/Anki, please grab the latest launcher first, as the older one may or may not work.

25.09.3

Security 1
  • Fix insufficient validation of requests in local media server that could allow malicious websites to read local files while Anki was running
What's Changed

This is a security release. Please upgrade as soon as possible using Tools > Upgrade/Downgrade.

Anki's local media server did not sufficiently validate requests, which could allow a malicious website to read local files while Anki was running. This had the potential to affect mostly Firefox and Safari users. Chrome already restricts local network access. Thanks to the great Tavis Ormandy (@taviso) for the report.

All other fixes and new features since 25.09.2 will follow in a separate beta release.

Installing
  • If you're a new user, please grab the latest launcher from https://apps.ankiweb.net
  • If you already have the 25.09 launcher, you can use Tools>Upgrade/Downgrade inside Anki.
  • If you have an older launcher/Anki, please grab the latest launcher first, as the older one may or may not work.
