No, you just didn't see it ;-)

Hi Guix,

I was wanting to check on some executable files in the store,
and happened to see some executable .png files ;-/

I suspect they came in when I was playing with icecat
and let it load  a "theme", but I am not sure some didn't
also happen trying to get firefox radio buttons to work ;-/

Anyway, does anyone else get 555 permissions on files like these?

│ These are all *.png files with 555 permissons, but I trimmed back to see common prefixes. │
│ Obviously the moka-con-theme was most of it, but also faba and docbook look iffy.         │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Is this zero-day stuff with a nasty somewhere, waiting for referencing by another nasty, or am I being paranoid?
What is the safe way to detoxify this mess? I know I shouldn't directly chmod anything in store, right?

The icecat discussion got moved to mozilla, but in case someone else did whatever I did,
I thought I'd post a heads-up here.
I'll try to cc Mark :)

Note the cut -d '-' etc from above

I thought the 34143 moka-icon-theme items looked especially iffy, being so many:

So let's not cut that tail and just grab some of those moka-icon-theme items full length:
$ find /gnu -type f -perm /111 -iname '*png'|xargs stat -c '%a %A %N'|grep moka-icon-theme|head

Some executables ending in png are legit, like conversion programs from something to .png format.

PS. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I used normal guix install ... yes:
