It appears Viscosity uses Sparkle, and a version that's vulnerable to MITM attacks:
Code: Select all
frankentosh:~ spork$ find /Applications -path '*Autoupdate.app/Contents/Info.plist' -exec echo {} \; -exec grep -A1 CFBundleShortVersionString '{}' \; | grep -v CFBundleShortVersionString
[...]
/Applications/Viscosity.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Autoupdate.app/Contents/Info.plist
	<string>1.11.0</string>
[...]	
	
You're not alone by a long shot, but considering this is security-related software, an update would be great.

Hi sporkman,

I need to stress that Viscosity is NOT vulnerable. For information please see:

Thanks, not sure how I missed that thread. When will the beta version with a fully-fixed Sparkle version be released (roughly)?
