70.\" TODO: Explain the security/usability tradeoffs from #4601.
71.PP
72Firejail is currently implemented as an SUID binary, which means that if a
73malicious or compromised user account manages to exploit a bug in Firejail,
74that could ultimately lead to a privilege escalation to root.
75To mitigate this, it is recommended to only allow trusted users to run firejail
76(see firejail-users(5) for details on how to achieve that).
77For more details on the security/usability tradeoffs of Firejail, see:
