NVD description

GNOME Keyring through 3.28.2 allows local users to retrieve login credentials via a Secret Service API call and the D-Bus interface if the keyring is unlocked, a similar issue to CVE-2008-7320. One perspective is that this occurs because available D-Bus protection mechanisms (involving the busconfig and policy XML elements) are not used. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because, according to the security model, untrusted applications must not be allowed to access the user's session bus socket.

    @LukasHozda @KristianCsep In regards to storing encrypted secrets, some "modern" OSs have retarded implementations of this, namely gnome-keyring and kwallet, that will allow any software on D-Bus to access all of the keys. So be aware of fake security software. https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-19358

    Post summary

    The tweet warns that gnome-keyring and kwallet expose stored secrets to any D-Bus application, referencing CVE-2018-19358, without evidence of active exploitation or a PoC, thus serving as a general advisory.
