Summary

The wizard in KGPG 0.6 through 0.8.2 does not properly provide the passphrase to gpg when creating new keys, which causes secret keys to be created with an empty passphrase and allows local attackers to steal the keys if they can be read.

0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 27% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
