Title:
Marc,
My apologies for this false flag. it has been a while since I have used SDC
in more recent versions. (I still use SDC from 10.10 every once in a while).
I just tired it on another install and it does not ask for password.
regards..
dale

This is news to me. In every version of ubuntu, when using startup disk
creator, I have always been asked for a password until today. So it is a
surprise and, as would probably anyone, would suspect it as a security
vulnerability.
From:
The policykit-desktop-privileges package was changed in 2011 to allow
writing images without a password:
policykit-desktop-privileges (0.7) oneiric; urgency=low
* Allow local admins to do the less harmful usb-creator actions (mounting
and writing image) without a password.
