Description Gianluca Gabrielli 2024-07-12 07:51:07 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1227687 +++

The polyfill.js is a popular open source library to support older browsers. 100K+ sites embed it using the cdn.polyfill.io domain. Notable users are JSTOR, Intuit and World Economic Forum. However, in February this year, a Chinese company bought the domain and the Github account. Since then, this domain was caught injecting malware on mobile devices via any site that embeds cdn.polyfill.io.

Comment 1 Gianluca Gabrielli 2024-07-12 08:11:35 UTC 
The following packages contains code that load js from the polyfill.io domain, but it was made optional [0] by commenting it out [1]. Hence, no problem here.

- SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:Update/doxygen-1_10
- openSUSE:Factory/doxygen
- SUSE:ALP:Source:Standard:1.0/doxygen

The following two packages are not affected.

- SUSE:SLE-12:Update/doxygen
- SUSE:SLE-15:Update/doxygen
