Open setting on top right of the screen. Turn bluetooth on. As soon as BT is turned on for ubuntu 22.04, my laptop or desktop are visible to all nearby BT devices. Click pair with any device, the prompt will show up in ubuntu 22.04. From that on, I can send any files over BT and will be sent directly to downloads folder, malicious or not.

It's strange that any "dumb" bluetooth device offers the option to be turned on but not be discoverable, but gnome bluetooth manager doesn't offer such option. Any device can be paired with a device using the gnome desktop, as long as the user gets the prompt to pair. After that, gnome desktop can receive any file to the downloads folder. There should be an option to make the gnome desktop device not show up to other devices, and another one to restrict what files can be sent via BT to the downloads folder ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: libgnome-bluetooth13 3.34.5-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-47.51-generic 5.15.46 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-47-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Sep 1 12:12:16 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-08-31 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20220809.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=pt:pt_BR:en PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-bluetooth UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
