if we download the subtitle file and load it to play with our downloaded movies should not have the risk?

i would think if the sub u downloaded is infected, it can get to yr device when u play it.

however, it should be lower risk if u downloaded at pc since pc will have antivirus to block if it detects something wrong.

also, always get subs from more reputable sites like opensubs, subscene, addic7ed... and stick to the uploaders u r familiar with.

opensubs have said they have "sanitized", the rest... haven't read anything yet.


kodi says 17.2 have the fix; popcorntime.sh 2.9 is also fine according to the statement below.

QUOTE
The team behind PopcornTime.sh applied a fix several months ago after the researchers approached them, TorrentFreak is informed. The Popcorn Time team trusts their subtitle provider OpenSubtitles but says that it now sanitizes malicious subtitle files, also those that are added by users.

Dear Customers,

Due to malicious subtitle zip files could potentially infect and harm your media player, it is necessary to update your Kodi 17.1 to 17.3. The upgrade will not affect your existing add-ons in Kodi 17.1. Just goto Google Play store and download Kodi 17.3 and install. If you are still running Kodi 16.1, please goto Skydrive follow the 5 steps Restore Kodi 17.1 first and follow by 17.3.

http://blog.checkpoint.com/2017/05/23/hacked-in-translation/

Below are other change log of Kodi 17.3:

Fix selection after channelgroup switching in PVR guide window
Fix handling of gaps that caused eradic behaviour in EPG grid
Allow backing out of fullscreen pictures by mapping longpress guesture
Quick fix for wake up command not being called in PVR power management
Use alternative method to check if platform updates have been installed on Windows
Set the minimum version in the code which is currently OSX 10.8
Fix possible security flaw which could abused .zip files which try to traverse to a parent directory
Use the correct ttc font from the video file for subtitles on Windows
Detect and delete zero-byte database files which causes crashes

Yes, except those addons not compatible has been removed. To be noted Superbox skin not supported by Kodi 17, I have replaced with nearest skin Mimic. You can change the skin as per your own preference, no issue.

new development causing kodi addons getting shut down.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/kodi-add-ons-shut-down-10591513

we will have to wait n see what new ones may come out.

icdrama is also affected, 1.2.6 does not work well or work anymore.

however, u can use 1.2.6.1 for now:
