CVE-2026-32810
Halloy has insecure file permissions on credential files
Halloy is an IRC application written in Rust. In versions on *nix and macOS prior to commit f180e41061db393acf65bc99f5c5e7397586d9cb, halloy creates its config directory and files using default umask permissions, which typically results in 0644 on files and 0755 on directories.
