# CVE-2025-46717: sudo-rs Allows Low Privilege Users to Discover the Existence of Files in Inaccessible Folders > Low-privilege users can discover the existence of files in inaccessible directories via sudo --list, potentially revealing sensitive information. - **Severity:** Low 3.3 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Local or same network only - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 12 May 2025 - **Updated:** 12 May 2025 - **Also known as:** DEBIAN-CVE-2025-46717, GHSA-98cv-wqjx-wx8f, MINI-f62q-6rxh-jvwh, UBUNTU-CVE-2025-46717 ## What is CVE-2025-46717? CVE-2025-46717 is a low-severity vulnerability in trifectatechfoundation sudo-rs, published on 12 May 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description sudo-rs is a memory safe implementation of sudo and su written in Rust. Prior to version 0.2.6, users with no (or very limited) sudo privileges can determine whether files exists in folders that they otherwise cannot access using `sudo --list `. Users with local access to a machine can discover the existence/non-existence of certain files, revealing potentially sensitive information in the file names. This information can also be used in conjunction with other attacks. Version 0.2.6 fixes the vulnerability. Weakness: CWE-497 (Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere) ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2025-46717? 2 open source packages ship an affected version, including sudo-rs. It affects 1 product. | Package | Ecosystem | Affected | Fixed in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `sudo-rs` | crates.io | All versions | 0.2.6 | | `sudo-rs` | crates.io | All versions | 0.2.6 | Products: Trifectatech Sudo. ## How do I fix CVE-2025-46717?

Affected packages and fixed versions: - sudo-rs (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 0.2.6 - sudo-rs (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 0.2.6 Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
