Indeed, the worry pretty much boils down to that open() call, otherwise we're not using the rpmchroot API in there. One obvious use case would be when you, as a regular user, enter a directory only accessible by the root user and then run a test transaction (still as a regular user), which would currently (probably) work. But it does seem like a corner case. Yet, it could break some existing scripts out there :sweat_smile:
