gnome-screensaver 2.14.3, 2.22.2, 2.27.x, 2.28.0, and 2.28.3, when the X configuration enables the extend screen option, allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking, access an unattended workstation, and view half of the GNOME desktop by attaching an external monitor.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue lets someone with physical access bypass a locked GNOME desktop in a specific multi-monitor configuration. By connecting an external monitor, they may view part of an unattended user session. It is mainly a workstation physical-security risk, not a remote network compromise. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux workstations using GNOME, affected gnome-screensaver versions, X display configuration, and extended-screen support. Modern systems may be unaffected, but the source bundle does not prove current distribution status. Treat as targeted workstation exposure. It is not internet-facing, but it can defeat screen-lock expectations where physical access is plausible. Address legacy GNOME endpoints and sensitive locations first. Mitigation focus: Inventory GNOME workstations for the listed gnome-screensaver versions.; Check distribution and vendor advisories for fixed gnome-screensaver packages.; Avoid extended-screen configurations on sensitive unattended workstations until remediated..
