Summary

The KDE Connect verification-code protocol before 2025-04-18 uses only 8 characters and therefore allows brute-force attacks. This affects KDE Connect before 1.33.0 on Android, KDE Connect before 25.04 on desktop, KDE Connect before 0.5 on iOS, Valent before 1.0.0.alpha.47, and GSConnect before 59.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the possibility of breaking connection verification by an attacker, which could lead to unauthorized access to user devices and data.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update all affected components (KDE Connect, Valent, GSConnect) to the latest versions that include a fix increasing the verification code length.
