# Parameters : $@ = command arguments

# Returns : None (executes the command as the appropriate user)
|

# Notes : This allows dropping permissions for specific commands when
|
||||
# lynis is invoked as root, preventing privilege escalation
|
||||
# risks (CWE-250, CWE-271).
|
||||
#
|
||||
# By isolating privileged code and dropping said privileges as
|
||||
# soon as possible, we can execute tools with their proper
|
||||
# permissions, such as in the case of Homebrew.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# When available, we use `sudo` and `su`. For a strictly
|
||||
# POSIX-compliant environment, a C implementation could be
|
||||
# made using `setgid()` and `setuid()`.
