Currently, dnfdaemon-system is started when yumex-dnf starts and is used for all operations involving dnf such as getting any package list or metadata or search. dnfdaemon-system is running as root and as such is a potential risk of security bugs.
I'd expect yumex-dnf to run without its root backend for most situations.
The only situations where root privileges are required are
running the real package transaction
history access (this might depend on system umask. Can someone please confirm they can run dnf history info last and dnf history list as ordinary user?)
