Bug ID: 369519
Summary: Show a warning when run from a privileged account
Product: kleopatra
Version: git master
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: aheine...@intevation.de
Reporter: aheine...@intevation.de
CC: kdepim-b...@kde.org, m...@kde.org
It is discouraged to run Kleopatra "as Administrator" on Windows or as Root on
Linux. There are possibilities for privilege escalation this way.
Additionally it creates problems if Keyrings / Files from GnuPG are created as
Administrator as under Windows this will use the same homedir as for the normal
user and so the user will need to run gpg / kleo always as Administrator or run
into unexpected problems.
So there should be a warning with the possibility to cancel if run from a
privileged account.
Reproducible: Always
