World Possible ScriptLauncher
by Endless OS Foundation
A tool for running shell scripts with root privileges
About
The World Possible ScriptLauncher is an application that facilitates running shell scripts on the host system (outside the Flatpak environment) as the root user. The user is able to choose a script to run using a graphical file chooser, which will then be executed and any output shown. This is needed for various administration tasks of Endless OS computers deployed by World Possible. With great power comes great responsibility; use carefully.
Permissions
2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- sandbox escape: can run commands on the host via flatpak-spawn
--talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak - full access to your entire file system
--filesystem=host - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
--socket=fallback-x11 - Wayland display
--socket=wayland
