Pinyin Web & EPUB / What's New in vUnknown
The Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy's Chaos study
found a fault in the desktop extension that also affected Android:
if a site mixes Chinese text with escaped IMG onError= Javascript,
it was run by the app when escaping was supposed to stop it. A bad
social-media user could steal your session cookies for the site, if
the site was relying on escaping to stop code in a message from
running and you used the annotator to look at that message. This
has now been fixed.
