It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2025-32463 in the wild since at least 29 Sep 2025.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-32463/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-32463/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-32463","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-32463/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-32463","record":{"aliases":["AZL-64458","AZL-64464","BELL-CVE-2025-32463","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-32463","GHSA-695j-c63m-mvxc","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-32463"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Sudo privilege tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain root access by exploiting the --chroot option to load a malicious nsswitch.conf from a user-controlled directory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"sudo","vendor":"sudo_project"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_desktop","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_real_time","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_server_for_sap","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-829","name":"Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere"}],"description":"Sudo before 1.9.17p1 allows local users to obtain root access because /etc/nsswitch.conf from a user-controlled directory is used with the --chroot option.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2025-06-30","github_poc":69,"max_poc_stars":532,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-07-01T11:26:15Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/pr0v3rbs/CVE-2025-32463_chwoot","stars":532,"title":"Escalation of Privilege to the root through sudo binary with chroot option.
