Yep, I am familiar. :) It's hard to not be with how popular wefwef/Voyager is.
Probably has some hard coded creds for dev work, and forgot to remove them.
This is an issue with Lemmy-ui which I have nothing to do with. I probably just won the lottery of being displayed as logged in. ๐
or just a placeholder
Happened to me too once, I saw a completely different username in the top bar, then it quickly reverted to my username once I clicked somewhere else. I thought it was just a glitch at the time as the instance was very buggy, that was before this instance updated to a 0.18.1 rc I think. Never happened again since then and I don't know how to reproduce it.
The random user switching had been happening occasionally until some update a month ago, something to do with stale websockets. Never heard of anyone successfully exploiting it, like making posts or seeing PMs. All you get is to see someone else's username. OP, if it happens to you again, try to make a post quickly before the session throws you out to prove whether it is a security risk!
This also happened to me. I believe it was after a system update. Hasn't occurred again.
Hi!
When exactly did it occur? Was it during the system update? Did you have the time to click on your profile to see where it redirects to?
It also seems like a Lemmy issue rather than a lemmy.world issue, since I have read also some things about it on another instance.
Would love to hear if you have the answers to the questions above. You can also submit a issue on Lemmy's GitHub to notify the developers.
