    As pointed out in the Wired article, Patrick Wardle's Objective-See site hosts BlockBlock v2.1.5 which was last released on 10-November-2022.

    Many know the site as the home for the popular LuLu firewall addition.

    Yes, and I suppose that BlockBlock isn't vulnerable to this hole. Which proves that sometimes third party security really is better.
