Security

Fixes a local privilege escalation in the client daemon (GHSA-qcpp-8vwj-hhwr). The daemon's local control interface accepted any local caller without authentication, so an unprivileged user on the same machine could enable the embedded SSH server, turn on SSH root login and disable SSH authentication, and then open a root shell. Every version from 0.5.0 to 0.75.1 is affected: on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD through the world-writable Unix socket, and on Windows through the loopback TCP listener, which carried no caller identity at all. Reported by @neewek.

The daemon now derives each local caller's identity from the kernel and requires root, or an administrator on Windows, to enable the SSH server, enable SSH root login, disable SSH authentication, or to change the management URL or deregister the peer while that profile has the SSH server enabled. On Windows it serves a named pipe instead of loopback TCP, and existing installations are migrated automatically.

Upgrade note: if you enable any of those settings from a script or an unprivileged session, run the command with sudo, or from an elevated prompt on Windows. Turning them off is unchanged, and so is everything else on the socket.

Release Notes for v0.75.0

New Feature: Redesigned Desktop Client

This release ships a complete rewrite of the desktop client. We went ahead and replaced the old Fyne-based tray application with a new Wails v3 app backed by a React and TypeScript frontend, and it is a massive upgrade. You get a proper main connection view, an exit-node switcher, a networks and peers browser with detail panels, profile management, full settings, debug-bundle creation, and a first-run welcome flow, all in one place instead of buried in a tray menu. #6473 by @pappz and @heisbrot

The new UI is also translated into 10 languages now, and session handling got a lot smarter, so you actually know when your session is about to expire instead of finding out the hard way. Do note that launch-on-login is now enabled by default on fresh GUI installs, so if you manage devices through MDM, the disableAutostart setting is enforced on every launch to keep that under your control.

• Rebuilt the desktop client as a Wails v3 application with a React + TypeScript frontend, replacing the Fyne UI. #6473
• Added internationalization with 10 locales (English, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese), shared between the tray and the frontend. #6473, #6790 by @s-shimizu-clpl
• Added a new system tray with per-platform theme-aware icons, including a native XEmbed host and theme watcher on Linux. #6473
• Improved session handling with an auth session watcher, pending login flow, session-expiration dialog and tray notifications, and netbird login improvements. #6473
• Extended the daemon API with status stream subscription, an event stream, networks and exit-node selection endpoints, and richer full status, with probe throttling to protect the daemon from UI-driven request storms. #6473
• Enabled launch-on-login by default on fresh GUI installs, managed through the daemon as the single source of truth (HKCU on Windows). #6738 by @mlsmaycon
• Enforced MDM disableAutostart on every GUI launch, not just fresh installs. #6782 by @riccardomanfrin
