| ## Security Improvements | ||
| ### Introduction | ||
| ### Security Advisory dated March 1, 2016 | ||
| It was [recently reported](http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/community/product-advisories/codeinjectioninitfiles/) that, if a user could gain access to the `riak` user (or, in node_package parlance, the `package_install_user`), that use would then have write access to init scripts that are generally run as `root`, exposing an escalation of privileges attack where said use could then get the `root` user to execute a script that could allow the original user to become `root` on the system. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
use -> user (also that -> the to avoid the that that problem): "...package_install_user), the user would then have write access to init scripts that are generally run as root, exposing an escalation of privileges attack where said user could then ..."
