            Bug ID: 447214
           Summary: When deleting a file in an encrypted vault, the file
                    is moved to the trash folder outside the vault,
                    becoming unencrypted
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.12.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
When opening an encrypted vault in Dolphin and deleting files in it, the files
are moved outside the vault and thus are exposed unencrypted. They end up in
~/.local/share/Trash.

I believe this is a serious security issue, which is why I marked this bug with
a severity of "major."
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a vault.
2. Create a new text file in the fault.
3. Select the new file in Dolphin and press the Del key on the keyboard.

OBSERVED RESULT
The file gets moved to "~/.local/share/Trash", which is unencrypted.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be moved to the trash folder on the root directory of the
vault.
