> Having a graphical prompt asking for the root password is a security hole?
pkexec requests the currently running user's password (like sudo), and will
fail if the logged in user doesn't have authorization for the requested task
via PolicyKit.
No, it will require the root password, and only this password,
unless a
specific PolicyKit conf. file is written to change this behaviour (according to
« man pkexec »).
