security issue : "No screen lock" toggle from lockscreen bypasses the lock...

Open hugues opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

I’m using Power Toggle on a Doogee X5S with Android 5.1+, and it appears that :

  • usb cable not plugged (as I asked android not to lock the screen if USB plugged)
  • using a lock pattern
  • only showing content of non-important notifications (sorry, I don’t know what the English version is exactly) -- same bug with "showing all notifications"
  • letting the screen lock after the timeout, or locking from the power button
  • i wake the phone: -> without unlocking it, i just activate the "no screen lock" toggle from power toggles, and it brings me to the home screen, fully usable. -> If I press the "home" button, the lock pattern shows up -> again, I just have to deactivate, then reactivate the "no screen lock" toggle to access the home screen..

Workaround : disable all notifications on screenlock :o) (it’s sad since I’m using power toggles to be able to activate/deactivate wifi, bluetooth, data directly from the lockscreen... :o) )

Same here under 5.1 on a Moto G. Adding NSL toggle on first notification row breaks security on a configured to lock phone. Under button options there is no safety option, nor warning on button add. Had to move button to 2nd row, since it is not accesible from lock screen. No big deal, since I already use 2nd row. Just a check for an already locked screen before running would work.

Coolest app for toggle switches I've ever found. Best bang for the Kb, and opensource! Thank you very much.
