Rant: Disabling Auth Is Now a "Security Vulnerarity"?
evilsocket · x · 2026-08-19
A developer rants about a second "security disclosure" received for an open-source project.
The "vulnerability":
- If you disable authentication.
- Ignore the documentation.
- And your computer is already infected with malware.
- Then the tool could be used for privilege escalation (privesc).
The author considers it pure nonsense and mocks the absurdity of the suggested "fix."
