Overview

CVE-2025-64170 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on November 12, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.8 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.8, 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. Starting in version 0.2.7 and prior to version 0.2.10, if a user begins entering a password but does not press return for an extended period, a password timeout may occur. When this happens, the keystrokes that were entered are echoed back to the console. This could reveal partial password information, possibly exposing history files when not carefully handled by the user and on screen, usable for Social Engineering or Pass-By attacks. Version 0.2.10 fixes the issue.

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.
