KDE Project Security Advisory ============================= Title: Windows: Incorrect behavior of uninstall.exe Risk Rating: Important Versions: KDE Windows Applications created before 9th of July 2019 Date: 21st July 2019
Overview ======== When a Windows KDE Application was installed using some non-default parameters (local install only, using a custom install folder), the application uninstaller was deleting all user data in the installation folder. For example, if installed in the user's "Documents" folder (i.e. not in "Documents/ApplicationName" but directly in "Documents"), the uninstaller would remove the whole "Documents" folder instead of just the files added when installing. Workaround ========== Do not use the uninstall.exe utility in KDE Applications created before 10th of July 2019, simply delete the installed files and folders manually. Credits ======= Thanks to Hannah von Reth for the fix.
