Of course it's possible. I've tried it. It works. It's just standard Unix features. What makes you think it isn't possible?

For the reasons I’ve already stated: daemons don’t run with permissions to write into users directories.

You’ve shifted goal posts to now talk about desktop applications when the topic was originally about daemons

You imagined that. The topic was never originally about daemons.

It’s literally in the opening post you replied to:

> A local privilege escalation to root via an exploitable service?

> Doesn't Linux have one of these CVEs...each week?

Why else would people be talking about docker, and user/group ownership of running services, and so on and so forth, in response to their comment and yours?
