Veracode Vulnerability DatabaseVERACODE:24693Privilege Escalation
EPSS
Percentile
17.2%
sudo is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A flaw was found in the sudo password checking logic. In configurations where the sudoers settings allowed a user to run a command using sudo with only the group ID changed, sudo failed to prompt for the user’s password before running the specified command with the elevated group privileges.
