What version of libwebp does Boost use and if it is currently vulnerable, when can we expect an update to fix this issue? The affected versions of libwebp are 0.5.0 to 1.3.1.

You should stop using your phone entirely if you're that worried.

The vast majority of apps use the Android Web View component. No point in rolling their own, really.

Not really, just temporarily not using apps where random people can post images that are not re-encoded. Turns out this is very few apps, but sadly every lemmy app falls under this category.
