Loki in‑memory keyring may ignore use‑confirmation

published 23 days ago
Summary

The Loki software’s in‑memory key storage can accept keys that are supposed to require user confirmation before they are used, but it does not actually enforce that check. This means a malicious or unintended key could be used without the expected approval step, potentially allowing unauthorized actions. Update to a patched version of Loki or apply the vendor’s recommended configuration changes to ensure the confirmation requirement is enforced.

What to do
  • Update cleanstart loki to version 3.7.1-r1.
