NSE security warning

Post by sanferno »

Hi,

First I would like to say I am not complaining at all of this useful plugin. It is just that I think I have found a security risk and I would like to aware users and developers of the situation in case they did not know it. So, Nikos, I am not trying to nag you.

It all starts when I try to open a 7z file protected with password, I write it in the dialog and it opens correctly, perfect. But the issue shows up when, after leaving the file, I try to access again its contents and they can be seen without providing the password one more time.

xplorer2 is trying to make your life easier, so it only asks passwords once. If you quit and restart xplorer2, you must enter passwords again
