Omarchy

ProbeLabsviewing a historical run

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Known issueKI-APPLY-LOCK-FPRINT-GATE-FAIL-OPEN

Fingerprint gate fail-open: substring grep treats not-enrolled or failed fprintd-list probes as enrolled

OpenOpenMedium

Medium-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

The fingerprint gate (bin/omarchy-apply-lock:47-48) greps fprintd-list output for the substring 'finger' with stderr discarded and no pipefail. Real fprintd empty-enrollment text ('User alice has no fingers enrolled ...') contains 'fingers'. The gate therefore takes the ENROLLED branch and installs pam_fprintd for a user with zero prints. A daemon error banner ('Fingerprints' then non-zero exit) also passes because the pipeline status is grep's. The script then configures fingerprint PAM for an account that can never match a print.

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

Impact covers only installs where fprintd-list reports no enrollment or fails. Password PAM stays primary and fingerprint is additive, so auth keeps working while misconfigured

The fix

Match the enrollment table (line-anchored 'Fingerprints' header plus per-finger rows) and require fprintd-list exit 0 with pipefail; treat any probe failure as not-enrolled
