From what I could gather, opentmpfiles is only vulnerable when an
attacker is able to put a config file into /etc/tmpfiles.d/, so they
have to be already root.
Nevertheless I switched to systemd-tmpfiles and it just works and
doesn't pull any other systemd-stuff in.
I don't think it really matters which one you use.
Kind regards, tastytea
