A security issue in Omarchy’s default Docker configuration meant that essentially every program running in the user’s desktop session could escalate to root without a password, sudo, or a privilege prompt. If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: update to 4.0.1. I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their systems.

    The above is my personal opinion which I have formed by reading the blog posts of DHH so I am not aware of any “sources” for that. Feel free to have a look at what this guy stands for: https://world.hey.com/dhh
