CVE-2025-69257

Root code execution via untrusted Python rule loading

Published Dec 30, 2025 · Updated Dec 30, 2025

Local privilege escalation in AsfhtgkDavid theshit before 0.1.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary Python code as root. The process_python_rules path imports Python rules from user-writable configuration directories without checking file ownership or write permissions. Exploitation requires the tool to run with elevated privileges; a passwordless sudo rule lets an unprivileged user reach root without further interaction.
