CVE-2023-22809 PoC — Sudo 安全漏洞

Source
Associated Vulnerability
Title: Sudo 安全漏洞 (CVE-2023-22809)
Description:In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a "--" argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file' value.

## Vulnerability Description
In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a "--" argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='nano -- /path/to/extra/file' value.

## Exploit Description
This script automates the exploitation of the CVE-2023-22809 vulnerability to gain a root shell.
The script checks if the current user has access to run the ```sudoedit``` or ```sudo -e``` command for some file with root privileges. If it does it opens the sudoers file for the attacker to introduce the privilege escalation policy for the current user and get a root shell.

## Usage
```bash
  ./exploit.sh
```
