A very detailed post which talks about their collaboration with security consulting firm Cure53 to identify various fairly novel exfiltration techniques, and attempt to adjust their Content-Security-Policy or some aspect of their application to try to mitigate it.

But I was also overwhelmed. There's a quip that security is a losing battle, but that wasn't my takeaway -- rather, the knowledge space required to develop and host a web application that accepts user-generated content in a way that won't leak info apparently everywhere is getting too much for generalist developers working alone or in small teams.
