Overview

CVE-2025-46718 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 12, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.3 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.3, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

sudo-rs is a memory safe implementation of sudo and su written in Rust. Prior to version 0.2.6, users with limited sudo privileges (e.g. execution of a single command) can list sudo privileges of other users using the `-U` flag. This vulnerability allows users with limited sudo privileges to enumerate the sudoers file, revealing sensitive information about other users' permissions. Attackers can collect information that can be used to more targeted attacks. Systems where users either do not have sudo privileges or have the ability to run all commands as root through sudo (the default configuration on most systems) are not affected by this advisory. Version 0.2.6 fixes the vulnerability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
