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-MENU-ITEM-PROTOTYPE-LEAK

Map reads walk Object.prototype: item(), results maps, providersLoaded treat constructor/toString as real entries

OpenOpenLow

Low-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

item() is a raw truthy read (items[id] ? ... : null), so inherited prototype properties look up as menu rows (probe F7). They beat aliases in resolveRoute, defeat the root fallback in openExistingMenu/setActiveMenu, and mark provider menus already-loaded (loadProviderForMenu's providersLoaded truthiness, SX26/C21). The same class hits results maps: isDisabled/labelFor read disabledResults[id] off a fresh {} and get the inherited function. They dim and check-mark a row whose id collides (HFY2/C16).

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

requires a menu id that collides with an Object.prototype name - user-authored JSONC can do this

The fix

hasOwnProperty checks (or null-prototype maps / Object.hasOwn) at every dynamic map read: item(), results lookups, providersLoaded
