File Manager: Shortening File Names has Security Implications

Open ip6li opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

In case of handling key pairs as files in file manager this can yield into compromising private keys. For example: There are two files named af4b223e91105c3c25b5795a99698d613298317.key and af4b223e91105c3c25b5795a99698d6132983170.pub They are both shown as af4b223e91105c3c25b579...

At least there should be an option to disable file name shortening permanently.

This should be handled as a security issue.

It's not going to be handled as a security issue. It's very bad UX if an app is having you handle it that way in the first place.

This isn't really a "security issue" and if this was actually one you would have contacted [email protected].
