Title:
Major security issue in Ubuntu Desktop default config - Removable
Media
Status in GSettings Desktop Schemas:
Fix Released
Status in gsettings-desktop-schemas package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
There is a MAJOR SECURITY VULNERABILITY in Ubuntu Desktop since
release 18.04 !
Recently I used Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and noticed that the issue still
exist!
I don’t know the reason for it, but default values for “Removable Media” are
VERY Risky!
It will automatically run the software which is attached to the removable
media.
Why? Why has Ubuntu still didn’t disable that option?
The following is the default configuration (the “bad” configuration):

The following is the configuration which Ubuntu should be having (it is the
fix to the problem):

Please change the default configurations for Ubuntu!
