This blog post is intended to share with you details about our OpenPGP support in Thunderbird 78, and some details Enigmail add-on users should consider when updating.

AUTOCRYPT LINUX DEBIAN UPDATE

Soon the Thunderbird automatic update system will start to deliver the new Thunderbird 78 to current users of the previous release, Thunderbird 68. Here is a copy of the original blog post. We are happy to report that no critical or major security issues were found, all identified issues had a medium or low severity rating, and we will publish the results in the future.” ( src) “ RNP library and Thunderbird’s related code, which was conducted by the Cure53 company. TBE-01-021 Enigmail: Flawed parsing allows faked Signature Display ( Critical).TBE-01-015 Thunderbird: Decrypted PGP Blocks exposed via RSS Feeds ( Critical).TBE-01-002 Enigmail: Weak Parsing causes Confidentiality Compromise ( Critical).“The tests yielded a total of twenty-one security-relevant issues, including three “Critical”-level vulnerabilities” ( src) In 2017 German Security company Cure53 ran an audit on Enigmail and found 3x Critical flaws.

“ RNP is a set of OpenPGP (RFC4880) tools that works on Linux, macOS, Windows and *BSD built with C++.” ( src) (Linus hates C++) Mozilla does not use default GNU Linux OpenPGP, but RNP Mozilla made changes to thunderbird that are so massive, that addons like Enigmail will stop working. But in our eyes, this is by far outweighed by the fact that OpenPGP will be part of Thunderbird and no add-on and no third-party tool will be required.” The set of functionalities will be different than what Enigmail offers, and at least initially likely be less feature-rich. We have therefore agreed with the Thunderbird developers that it’s much better to implement OpenPGP support directly in Thunderbird. However, that’s beyond our available time limitations.

WebExtensions have a completely different API than classical add-ons, and a much reduced set of capabilities to hook into the user interface.įor Enigmail to continue to work, it would therefore be required to rewrite it from scratch. Thunderbird 78 will no longer to support the APIs that Enigmail requires and only allow new “WebExtensions”. While it was possible for Thunderbird to keep old “legacy” add-ons alive for a certain time, the time has come for Thunderbird to stop supporting them. This affects not only Thunderbird itself, but also add-ons.

“The Mozilla developers have been and still are actively working on removing old code from their code base. On the blog of the Enigmail Developers, it reads like this: Thunderbird 78 addon API changes massively, which means OpenPGP addon Enigmail will be replaced with build-in solution
