Write access to an executable is also subtly different than write access to a configuration file. My executables are installed as administrator and I run and store my data files as a non-sudo regular user (and thatâ(TM)s ignoring potential code signing that would flag a tampered executable) Seems like they could do something like have any/all unencrypted configuration portions covered by a MAC that gets verified with a master key before performing any operations. I also havenâ(TM)t heard a reason (let alone a good one) for a âoedump my passwordsâ flag in a configuration file to exist at all. Feels like it is asking for some sort of combined exploit.
