Magisk, a popular tool for gaining root access on Android devices, offers a crucial security feature called 'User Authentication'. This feature aims to protect root access by requiring the user's password for every superuser request when the phone is not in their hands. However, a significant conflict exists between 'User Authentication' and Magisk's 'Automatic Response' option.

Even with 'User Authentication' enabled, the 'Automatic Response' setting can be changed without requiring any authentication. If it's set to 'Grant', all superuser requests will be automatically approved without prompting for the user's password. This creates a serious security vulnerability, as malicious apps could exploit this flaw to gain root access despite the user having 'User Authentication' enabled.

This issue directly undermines the purpose of 'User Authentication', leaving Magisk users vulnerable to potential security threats. The Magisk team should prioritize addressing this conflict and ensuring that 'User Authentication' functions as intended, providing robust protection for root access.
