A security issue in Omarchy’s default Docker configuration meant that essentially every program running in the user’s desktop session could escalate to root without a password, sudo, or a privilege prompt. If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: update to 4.0.1. I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their systems.

        yeah it’s bad that the omarchy community has taken the DHH kool-aid. I watched a video lastnight of a guy from India who was praising Omarchy and said all the hate was because purely of DHH and not understanding why. It was like “My guy, he made comments directed towards YOU and YOUR People specifically about living in London. He doesn’t want YOU to using his distro”.
