You're right, that was undiplomatically stated. uinput insertion SHOULD
require root privs. Fundamentally, this is insecure and automatically
adding users to groups and so on doesn't change this. Short of finding
a way to remove uinput requirements, there's no way to secure this app.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cwiid/+bug/140890 contains
more discussion from core developers on the subject. I have no idea how
to triage this in light of this situation.
