It is a Mastodon fork, and I am still waiting to see if this apparent SQL-injection issue will also come up with regular Mastodon instances.
Does this also apply to postgresql? That's the default recommended for vanilla masto.
There's basically no details on the SQL injection attack, so it's hard to tell. SQL injection attacks in general can occur independent of the database, but yeah, we don't even know if it even applies to Mastodon.
FWIW, some of the people involved have suggested that Gab introduced vulnerabilities while modifying the Mastodon code.
