On: AppStore Preferences can be unlocked by a local admin with any bogus password

Edit: El Capitain doesn't have the padlock on that pane

Other panes validate the password correctly

On El Capitan, I don't even see a padlock on the AppStore prefpane.

That was my experience too... but after clicking around for a while & then going back to the App Store prefpane, I did see a padlock (unlocked) on the App Store prefpane. I haven't been able to reproduce it again, but it seems there's some kind of bug there even on El Capitan.
