Gorka, I don't want to debate on projects's responsibility, but I'd rather focus on the data leakage, which is the subject of this security report.
The fact that a volume detach can leave residue if a flush error occurs is certainly not ideal, but this isn't a security problem *UNTIL* the remaining devices are reused.
To me, it appears that the data leal occurs on the attach and not on the detach and I'd rather prefer to see os-brick avoiding this situation.
That being said, I think Melanie, Dan and I agreed on trying to find a way to asynchronously clean up the devices (see comments #24 #25 and #27) and that can be discussed publicly, but again, this won't help with the data leakage that occurs on the attach command.
