What is CVE-2013-1050?

The default configuration in gnome-screensaver versions 3.5.4 to 3.6.0 sets the AutostartCondition parameter in the .desktop file to fallback mode. This misconfiguration prevents gnome-screensaver from launching automatically upon user login, thereby leaving unattended workstations vulnerable to physical access. Attackers in proximity can exploit this issue to bypass screen locking mechanisms, potentially accessing sensitive information without authorization.
