Description

  • [ X] Your Hyper.app version is 3.4.1. Please verify you're using the latest Hyper.app version
  • [ X] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Please see ARS Technical Report. Hyper is flagged as vulnerable by Bob Rudis' positron. I'll need to switch to another terminal pending patch (with regret!).
