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-LOCK-FPRINT-PROBE-FAIL-OPEN

Lock-service fingerprint probe fail-open: substring grep treats zero-enrollment fprintd-list output as configured

OpenOpenMedium

Medium-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

fingerprintCheckProc's embedded probe (shell/plugins/lock/Service.qml:534) is 'fprintd-list "$USER" 2>/dev/null | grep -qi finger'. fprintd-list's stdout for an empty store is 'User NAME has no fingers enrolled for ... Fingerprint Sensor'; grep -qi finger matches the substring, the probe echoes yes, and fingerprintConfigured = true (line 538). The lock screen then offers fingerprint auth to a zero-enrollment user where every attempt fails. Same substring-oracle class as KI-APPLY-LOCK-FPRINT-GATE-FAIL-OPEN but a disjoint file and code site (executed per lock via refreshFingerprintStatus).

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

wrong fingerprint attempts still fall through to the password field

The fix

Count enrolled fingers (line-anchored 'Fingerprints' table with >= 1 per-finger row) and require fprintd-list exit 0 before echoing yes
