Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sudo versions prior to 1.9.13

Description The issue is related to a lack of proper encoding or escaping of output in the Sudo program, specifically in the sudoreplay output. This allows an attacker to potentially gain access to confidential data. The issue is associated with the inability of Sudo to escape control characters in the output.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.9.13, update to version 1.9.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the sudoreplay output until a patch is applied.
