Impact
When using file:<location> command and <location> is web URL location (http, https). mangadex-downloader will try to open and read a file in local disk for each line of website content.
So far, the app only read the files and not execute it. But still, when someone reading your files without you knowing, it’s very scary.
Workarounds
Unfortunately, there is no workarounds to make it safe from this issue. But i suggest you double check the url before proceed to download or update to latest version ( >= 1.7.2)
Patches
Fixed in version 1.7.2
