What are the risks??? Well, you know that list of permissions you get when you install an application? Forget having to approve ANY of that, the app can do whatever it wants to your device, including wipe your data, or even destroy the OS on the phone, upload all your contacts, SMS messages, photos, videos... etc. Basically, there's nothing an app can't do with superuser permissions. If your device isn't rooted, I'm not sure it makes any difference. If you don't approve the permission elevation on a rooted device then it shouldn't matter either. The real concern is, just what the hell is the developer trying to do, and if this method doesn't work what else will they try? Hacking into our devices using an exploit? They've past the line where we should have any trust for their software IMO.
