Description Florian Weimer 2013-12-17 13:45:40 UTC

Boxes does not prevent other local users from using the SPICE protocols to access the console of virtual machines created using gnome-boxes.

Using UNIX domain socket connections by default would be the best solution for this.  Automatically generated random passwords do not authenticate the server and allow it to be impersonated by other users because it is usually running on an untrusted port.

Verified with gnome-boxes from 3.8, but I don't think this has changed in later versions.
