⚠ IMPORTANT SECURITY ISSUE KODI VLC – UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
A very important security issue has been discovered on KODI, VLC, PopcornTime and Stremio. The security issue was discovered by Check Point and thankfully there are new updates that can patch this issue so you can stay safe and secure. KODI has already released version 17.2 but unfortunately they will not update older versions. Users on KODI 16 Jarvis are left on risk and for as long as the other KODI forks will not release an update, I recommend they do not use subtitles on that version. Surely SPMC, FTMC, CEMC and all the other important KODI forks will release an update as soon as possible.
The potential risk can threaten up to 200 million users that currently are using the media players above, so you can easily understand the proportions of this security issue! Download all the latest versions:
- Kodi – Created a fix version, 17.2 but will not patch all previous version like KODI 16 Jarvis.
