Sudo before 1.9.17p1 contains a local root escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-32463, CVSS 9.3) through the --chroot option, which loads /etc/nsswitch.conf from the user-controlled chroot directory instead of the host system. KEV-listed with EPSS 26.5% and public PoC, this vulnerability allows any user with sudo --chroot access to achieve root privileges by placing a malicious nsswitch configuration and library in their chroot.
