Since today, I see the following root warning when turning wifi on or off:

enter image description here

  • Superuser Anfrage / Superuser request: mksh (1000)
  • Angeforderter Benutzer / Requested User: ROOT (0)
  • Befehl / Command: ip route add 224.0.0.0/4 dev wlan0

My phone is a HTC One V with Android 4.0.3 and SuperSU installed as root app. It was running 8 months without this prompt. My last install was Power Toggles 1 week ago. Does anyone know about this? I'm afraid it's something dangerous...

thx izzy for including the image. I didn't have enough reputation to do it. – Daniel Alder Feb 25 at 21:03
Now, why would Power Toggles be requesting to add a broadcast to the routes? Can you post the contents of mksh to confirm? I'd be suspicious of that! :) – t0mm13b Feb 25 at 21:45
how can I do this? the message is the only thing I see about it and I think/hope there is not more than this ip route command – Daniel Alder Feb 25 at 22:00
I just found something in the middle of a very long forum thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33550523. Seems that it appears after an update of superSU which didn't show system commands in previous version. Interestingly, the message is from november. And I'm sure I did multiple updates of superSU since then. And another interesting thing: why should the system-app HTC sense use a rooting tool for executing a command? – Daniel Alder Feb 25 at 22:23
