Title: Major security issue in Ubuntu Desktop default config - Removable Media
Post by: kalpana on Nov 04, 2023, 05:08 AM
Dear Ubuntu Developers and Contributers,

There is a MAJOR SECURITY VULNERABILITY in Ubuntu Desktop since release 18.04 !

Recently I used Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and noticed that the issue still exist!


I don't know the reason for it, but default values for "Removable Media" are VERY Risky!
It will automatically run the software which is attached to the removable media.
Why? Why has Ubuntu still didn't disable that option?


The following is the default configuration (the "bad" configuration):

The following is the configuration which Ubuntu should be having (it is the fix to the problem):

Please change the default configurations for Ubuntu!
