Summary

An issue in Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9.6 for Windows affects its OS customization feature. The public-key authentication setting unintentionally re-adds the user's id_rsa.pub key from the local Windows machine to the authorized_keys file on the Raspberry Pi, even after the user explicitly deletes it in the UI.

Risk Assessment

This creates an unintended attack surface, as an attacker could log in to the device using a different key than intended. It may lead to unauthorized access to the Raspberry Pi.

Recommendation

After using Raspberry Pi Imager, verify the authorized_keys file on the device and manually remove unwanted keys. Consider using a newer version of the tool or an alternative configuration method.
