Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mist versions prior to 0.9.5

Description Mist is the command-line interface for the makedeb Package Repository. A user-provided sudo binary via the PATH variable can allow a local user to run arbitrary commands on the user's system with root permissions.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.9.5, update to version 0.9.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the sudo binary via the PATH variable to minimize the risk of exploitation.
