Correct, and a prompt should be shown when possible malicious files are sent, to let the user decide if he wants to receive it or not.
It's surreal that you can send any file type with any content and it will automatically be sent to the download folder without user input, as long as the device is paired. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988422 Title: Bluetooth discoverability is not communicated to the user adequately in Settings Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When bluetooth is turned on ubuntu it is discoverable to all nearby devices. It's strange that any "dumb" bluetooth device offers the option to be turned on but not be discoverable, but gnome bluetooth manager doesn't offer such option. Any device can be paired with a device using the gnome desktop, as long as the user gets the prompt to pair. After that, gnome desktop can receive any file to the downloads folder. There should be an option to make the gnome desktop device not show up to other devices, and another one to restrict what files can be sent via BT to the downloads folder ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: libgnome-bluetooth13 3.34.5-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-47.51-generic 5.15.46 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-47-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Sep 1 12:12:16 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-08-31 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20220809.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=pt:pt_BR:en PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-bluetooth UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
