The hacker leaked their source code onto github and said that only 2 out of 3 of the CVEs he was using was patched: https://github.com/holo-gfx/mangadex/issues

Other people who are now looking at their code said there are numerous other vulnerabilities. I guess that's why they decided to burn it to the ground and rewrite instead of trying to fix everything.

I know. It's just the fallacy that "Oh my last code base was flaming dog shit! Surely rewriting it will fix everything!". It never does. Sure, things might improve. But probably not unless something is really different about how they are doing v5 vs v3. Nothing they have said indicates that.

I'm probably being overly cynical.
