Need bulletins on security of Moneydance in connection with severe vulnerabilities in Java
As of today all advice/direction is to "turn off Java" in the browser, and some of the guidance is garbled (e. g. Firefox's instructions). WHAT IS THE EFFECT ON MONEYDANCE, AND HOW DO WE RECOVER?

That answer says:
That security announcement only refers to the Java plugin in web
browsers, but Moneydance uses the system Java or a bundled version
of Java, so it's not affected by this security announcement or fix.
If media (and governments) all over the world are reporting Java
security compromises, you have to assert plainly in prominent/broadcast
bulletins that Moneydance is unaffected, and why -- in detail, not just
this brush-off.
On my MacBook and Mini, running OS 10.5 and 10.6, does Moneydance use
"the system Java", "a bundled version of Java" and/or a browser-based
Java? Your answer (only "Java plugin") is meaningless even to a
programmer, unless s/he is personally familiar your usage of Java and
its runtime architecture.
Bulletin: Moneydance buyers and users are not and probably never will be
Java programmers.

Hi,
I am sorry we were not more explicit or thorough.
Depending on the version of Moneydance, Moneydance uses either system Java or a bundled version of Java. It does not use browser-based Java.
So far, we have received a very small number of queries regarding this issue. Should we notice an increase in contacting us on this we will be sure to address it in a public announcement.
Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Sincerely,
Jon Hoover, Moneydance Support
