  "details" : [ "A flaw was found in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider. When the ldap_sudo_search_base option is not explicitly configured, SSSD searches the entire LDAP directory tree for sudoRole objects. An authenticated attacker with write access to any subtree can inject a sudoRole object granting root-level sudo privileges on all SSSD-enrolled hosts.", "A flaw was found in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider.

An authenticated attacker with write access to any subtree can inject a sudoRole object granting root-level sudo privileges on all SSSD-enrolled hosts." ],
  "statement" : "Red Hat has rated this as Important because the attack requires only low-privilege delegated LDAP write access to any subtree, which is a common delegation pattern in enterprise environments. The default ldap_sudo_search_base configuration searches the entire directory tree, allowing sudo rule injection from outside the intended sudoers container.",
