CWE ID 269
Summary
CVE-2023-7090 is a privilege mismanagement vulnerability affecting the sudo utility. The issue lies in the handling of ipa_hostname within sudo, which fails to propagate this value from the configuration file located at /etc/sssd/sssd.conf. Consequently, applications may retain elevated privileges after they have been retracted, posing a potential security risk. This vulnerability could allow unauthorized access or other malicious activities, making it a significant concern. Updating sudo to a patched version is recommended to mitigate this risk.
