I've noticed a couple of oddities when running an incepted opensh.
First of all, I am unable to run a simple shell script under opensh:

The second thing I discovered was that it is actually possible to run an incepted opensh shell as a regular user and gain full root privileges without needing to supply a root password!

Note that as long as Aegis is exploitable, an evil unprivileged app could still obtain full access even without opensh - it would just be more difficult. opensh is essentially poking a hole through a dam that's already leaky.
@rainisto develsh doesn't have a password prompt either, though - so if incepting it does grant it full privileges, doing so is exactly as much of an issue as installing opensh, I'd imagine.

Well I knew that the purpose of opensh was to provide real root, what I didn't realise was that setuid(0), setgid(0) was used to achieve this. I'll admit I was naive to install it without knowing this but what surprised me was how nothing has been done to lock it down. To quote the author (http://maemo.cloud-7.de/HARM/N9/openmode_kernel_PR1.1/):
No way is the default install of opensh as safe as any Linux system. Perhaps most people here find it acceptable to be able to gain root access without some form of password or key. Fremantle's rootsh was just as vulnerable.
Q: But isn't it a big security risk?
---------------------------------
A: Not at all, as user needs to boot into open mode kernel, something that no malware
could do. Of course once you switched "to the dark side" and got opensh installed
on your system, it is basically as safe or vulnerable to malware attacks as any other
linux system, maybe marginally better still thanks aegis.

Under other circumstances I'd be a bit more fervent about locking down access to credentials/root, but with Harmattan as it is I'm afraid it's a bit of a lost cause. That said, the Aegis-aware sudo I proposed earlier is definitely something that's required.
Edit: Also, you can get rid of opensh without getting rid of INCEPTION - just do apt-get remove opensh from a root shell and you're set.

And ofcourse the real security hole is that one can make application to ovi store, and which would check the existance of /usr/sbin/incept and if binary is found then incept malware into device, and if binary is not found then do nothing.
So 1st you should make /usr/sbin/incept to set and query some custom password to able to be run it (which would not be rootme ie force change of default passwd).

Since sudoers already contains a line that lets "user" run anything, how about:
(provided you have bash)
That gives me all credentials.
Code:
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/opensh -c /bin/bash --rcfile <rc filename>
That gives me all credentials.
