Bug ID: 509895
Summary: Encrypted vault data leak in recent items
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: wuzahman at gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When accessing files from inside kde plasma vault a link is created to them in
the recent files, same for folders inside the vault. When closing the vault
these files change nsme to -0 or -1 but hovering over them in the file manager
shows they still link to a file inside of the vault, and while that file is mo
longer accessible it's name is saved in the recent files link. This is a
confidentiality problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open vault and access files
2. Close vault
3. Open recent files folder and find files named -0 -1 etc
OBSERVED RESULT
-0 ( Points to ~/Vaults/vaultname/filename_inside_vault)
EXPECTED RESULT
Links from recent files should be deleted when vault is locked, or not saved
there in the first place
