Qubes OS version:

R4.0-rc4

Affected TemplateVMs:

whonix-ws

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. In a default R4.0-rc4 installation, create a new VM called anon-whonix-2 based on whonix-ws.
  2. Launch a DispVM from anon-whonix-2.

Expected behavior:

The DispVM uses sys-whonix as its NetVM so that its traffic is Torified.

Actual behavior:

The DispVM uses the NetVM of the default_dispvm, which is not sys-whonix by default, resulting in a high risk of deanonymization.
