Feature Request: Warn the user about the danger of making a root owned app/directory writable. #482

Open

Description

@49studebaker

If a user copies an app like Firefox to /opt and then chooses to give the app write permission, SELinux could display a message:

“Granting this program permission to write to a root-owned directory creates a local privilege escalation risk. If the program is exploited by malware, it could perform malicious actions and compromise your system. This is strongly discouraged.”

(checkbox) Don’t show message again.
