It was discovered that the gnome-shell lock screen since version 3.15.91 did not properly restrict all contextual actions. An attacker with physical access to a locked workstation could invoke certain keyboard shortcuts, and potentially other actions.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
