Sebastian Krahmer discovered that Kauth used Policykit insecurely by

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 4:4.8.4-4+deb7u1.

For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 4:4.13.3-2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your kde4libs packages.
