@Mario, thanks, I agree with you wrote and marking it as verification- done. The current system is not perfect but the issues are not regression/worth blocked the SRUs which are pending and we can improve thing in the next iteration. ** Tags removed: verification-failed-bionic verification-needed

@seb128, regarding comment #7: That is exactly why I raised that bug upstream. The way that makes sense to me is for popping up a GNotification when new devices are plugged in rather than automatically authorizing or automatically "trying" to authorize unless you know the device is "safe". @al

@Alex, thanks for the input. Mario are you happy with those replies? @Betty, thanks for testing, weird that it's not working though :/ That said, that's not a regression over the current bionic version and while it would be good to figure out why it's not working it's maybe not worth blocking the

The security team consider the existing behaviour is fine - ie. automatically connect without authentication when an admin session is logged in and is an active seat (ie. the screen / session is not switched to some other users sessions / VT), and the screen is unlocked. If someone has direct phys

@Mario, I'm a bit confused on why you didn't raise those concerns earlier, you knew about the upstream behaviour and even tested things on 18.10 for https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/709 It would have been nice to have that discussion upfront and not have it lock the fwupd and bo

If I understand correctly, the attack would have to be on a logged in session. So the attacker would have local access to the machine and the session already. It is something for careful consideration though. I will loop in the security team for their thoughts. -- You received this bug not

My personal opinion aligns with YC actually. It's specifically in the handling of a Thunderbolt device not just any USB device. If a thunderbolt device is automatically authenticated it does improve the usability at the expense of security. A nefarious Thunderbolt device can trivially perform a D

It's new to me that it's designed in a way that a user in admin/wheel group doesn't need to enter the password. The user in admin group needs to enter the password when they are doing something serious or potentially harmful to the system. If there could be a potential security risk, why we should
