Hey there, in case you had not noticed it, we released Friendica 2024.02-rc https://friendi.ca/2024/02/14/friendica-2024-03-release-candidate-available/ on Wednesday. Among the unlisted things in the release note are bug fixes for two security/privacy related bugs that have been found in 2023.12.
If you have not yet updated to the 2024.03-RC, personally I would encourage you to do so (or to the latest development branch, there the fixes are included as well). The RC branch is pretty stable and we aim for a release as early in March as possible.
In case you have not installed Friendica using git, but with the archive files, please have a look at the 2023.12 release notes https://friendi.ca/2023/12/24/friendica-2023-12-released/ and pick the latest archives from https://files.friendi.ca/ (there is already a friendica-full-2024.03-rc archive, but for the addons you need to take the friendica-addons-2024.03-dev archive as the RC branch had not seen any commits for the addons so far).
