Local privilege escalation via unrestricted sudo parameters
Published Dec 9, 2025 · Updated Dec 9, 2025
Improper privilege management in AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer A33.0 and A33.10 allows local users to escalate privileges via a sudo-approved command. A sudoers entry authorizes a command while leaving attacker-controlled parameters unrestricted, enabling parameter injection into its privileged execution. Command-line access under a low-privileged account is required; successful abuse executes the approved command with elevated privileges.
