NB: < on Linux >

  It's in the original headline, but I had to cut it because it was too long.

    You made the right call. Polkit is most commonly deployed on modern GNU/Linux distributions so the “on Linux” is mostly redundant. On a related note, Polkit, itself, has had its own privilege escalation problems: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-4034 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-4034 https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-threat-research/2022/01/25/pwnkit-local-privilege-escalation-vulnerability-discovered-in-polkits-pkexec-cve-2021-4034 https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-threat-research/2022...

  Polkit only runs on GNU/Linux with systemd anyway.

    One could easily not know that, given how many SomethingKits there are in The Apple ecosystem.

    polkit does not require systemd.
