Just a heads up.

From their incident page:

Who may be at risk: People who downloaded and installed from jdownloader.org during 6th–7th May 2026 (UTC) using one or more website download links for "Download Alternative Installer" and/or the affected Linux shell installer link.

In early May 2026, attackers succeeded in altering the official JDownloader website so that certain installer links published here were repointed from the genuine JDownloader installer downloads to unrelated malicious third-party files.

Technical scope: Changes were made through the website's content management system, affecting published pages and links. The attacker did not gain access to the underlying server stack — in particular no access to the host filesystem or broader operating-system-level control beyond CMS-managed web content.

 

So I guess that no updates either were corrupted.
Just for those who downloaded a redirected "fresh" installer.

Am I wrong?
