Bug ID: 478653
Summary: Pastebin sharing should not paste without confirmation
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-purpose
Version: 5.113.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I just read a post in a tech forum where someone set up a KDE environment on a
non-techie’s laptop. And he asked how to disable the pastebin item from the
Dolphin context menu, because it is a security risk for the user-to-be.
The function itself is not really dangerous of course, but the fact that there
is no warning for the uninitiated and no way of confirmation or cancellation is
indeed a problem. Also, the “…” in the context menu item suggest that it will
open a dialog window. But the window simply posts and then closes immediately.
OBSERVED RESULT
The file is uploaded immediately.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a request for confirmation with an appropriate warning that
whatever is being shared will be publicly visible for the entire internet and
that there is no way to remove the content—which probably only applies to
guests without an account.
