I agree. You basically, or literally, need to be root to exploit it, that’s really not vulnerable. Is it going to give you ‘super’-root or something? What’s the point when you can just log into a mac with a blank password.
It would be great to be able to disable some protections if it would increase performance (yes, disabling your virus check will speed things up). I at least hope they are just checking for code misusing it than just turning it off.
