The warning tells people not to follow the guide, but leaves the dangerous steps in place / doesn't recommend any alternate course of action.

You are right, that should be done. As I did not place the warning nor know what a fix could be we can just hope someone is up for the task.

Do not use this guide as it allows everyone with access to the process to run _any_ command as root. A warning message has been added yesterday.
