Release notes summary

This release fixes a privacy issue in Fabric's session and context storage by tightening filesystem permissions. Configuration now removes group and other permission bits from session/context folders and files, including histories saved by older versions with overly permissive modes.

Key Highlights

  • Session and context folders and files are now made private by stripping group and other permission bits.
  • Addresses existing histories saved with 0755 and 0644 modes that remained readable by other users.
  • Ensures permissions are never widened during the update.
  • Leaves symlinks untouched while correcting permissions.

## Changes

### PR [#2287](https://github.com/danielmiessler/Fabric/pull/2287) by [pcbeingused333](https://github.com/pcbeingused333): fix(fsdb): make existing session and context folders and files private

- Fixed session and context storage permissions so that configuration now strips group and other permission bits from the sessions and contexts folders, as well as the files within them.
- Addressed a privacy issue in which histories saved by earlier versions with 0755 and 0644 modes remained readable by other users, since Save preserves the mode of an existing file.
- Ensured permissions are never widened and that symlinks are left untouched during the update.
