Veracode Vulnerability DatabaseVERACODE:23969Privilege Escalation
EPSS
Percentile
10.1%
The sudo (superuser do) is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. The sudo utility did not properly initialize supplementary groups when the ârunas_defaultâ option (in the sudoers file) was used. If a local user were authorized by the sudoers file to perform their sudo commands under the account specified with ârunas_defaultâ, they would receive the root userâs supplementary groups instead of those of the intended target user, giving them unintended privileges.
