I want to know how much secure is the package lm-sensors.

I need to monitor the temperature of my machine to adapt the configuration of the fans.

The programm prompt me for my root password to access some sensors it has found.

What is annoying me is the fact that the prompt says: "This is totally secure".

What do you think?

Targets:

  • Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
  • Sensors version 3.6.0 with libsensors version 3.6.0
