How is this a security issue?

The setting is completely within a user's session. Asking for the user's
password here would be security theatre.

Title:
  Changing (enabling) 'sharing desktop' does not require user password

Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I don't know if this is reported before, but I noticed that changing
  the remote desktop option to allow viewing/controlling without any
  permission looks like a real security problem.

  Why not ask for the user's password?
