Hi Support, do you know if Splashtop (buit into Syncro) is subject to this vulnerability.  
I have looked on the Splashtop web site and there is no announcment that I can find.

I saw on Reddit that Splashtop doesn’t use Java, so they are unaffected, but were still doing a full evaluation anyway.

Yea, that might have been my reddit post, which was just this, in case someone didn’t know about this community/post… We should all report back here with further recommended testing strategies / outcomes yea?

Thank-you ! It’s important to know and reassuring that Java as a whole is not used. That’s a good place to be in terms of the codebase for Syncro.

👏
