What's Changed

Security

  • Bitwarden session key now uses SecretString — session key was stored as plain String in memory without zeroization; migrated to SecretString with expose_secret() only at CLI invocation point
  • Config files written with 0600 permissions — connection data (hostnames, usernames, port forwards) was world-readable on multi-user systems; config directory now created with 0700
  • SSH monitoring host key verification — removed unconditional StrictHostKeyChecking=no; now uses accept-new by default (accepts first-seen keys, rejects changed keys)
  • Session log sanitization active by default — built-in sensitive patterns (password prompts, API keys, tokens) were defined but never wired into the sanitizer; now active in SanitizeConfig::default()
  • Flatpak device permissions scoped — replaced --device=all with --device=serial in both Flatpak manifests; previously granted access to all device nodes when only serial ports are needed
  • Monitoring password uses SecretStringssh_exec_factory password parameter migrated from plain String to SecretString with zeroization; expose_secret() used only at SSHPASS env var injection point
  • RDP TLS certificate policy documentedestablish_connection now documents that IronRDP does not validate server certificates (standard for RDP self-signed certs); added tracing::warn! on each connection

Fixed

  • Encrypted document format ambiguity — legacy salt byte could be misinterpreted as encryption strength byte (~1.2% chance); introduced V2 magic header RCDB_EN2 for unambiguous format detection

Added

  • Monitoring: remote host private IP — monitoring bar now shows the primary private IP address in the system info section; hovering shows hostname, all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses grouped separately
  • Monitoring: live uptime counter — uptime in the system info tooltip now updates on every metrics polling tick instead of remaining static until the next full system info refresh
  • Monitoring: stopped indication — when the metrics collector stops (3 consecutive failures), the monitoring bar dims to 50% opacity, shows a warning icon, and the tooltip displays "⚠ Monitoring stopped"
  • Monitoring: all mount points — disk section now shows root filesystem in the level bar and all mounted real filesystems in the tooltip (mount point, used/total, percentage); virtual filesystems (tmpfs, devtmpfs, squashfs, overlay) and snap loop mounts are filtered out

Removed

  • Dead read_import_file_async — unused async import helper removed from rustconn-core/src/import/traits.rs
