It's no exaggeration to call sudo the cornerstone of Linux privilege management. It's one of the first utilities we configure on fresh installs, and it's baked into almost every Linux distribution by default. Which is precisely why reports of two significant vulnerabilities in sudo ''CVE-2025-32462 and CVE-2025-32463''are grabbing headlines and raising red flags. These are local privilege escalation flaws, and if they're exploited, an attacker could jump from a non-privileged user account straight into the shoes of the almighty root user.
