FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

var isLogin;
  var submitButton;

  document.forms['customer_login'].addEventListener('submit', (event) => {
 
    // show loading gif on submit button
    submitButton = event.target.querySelector('button');
    submitButton.classList.add('spin');
    submitButton.disabled = true;
