| Parameter | Position | Path | Description | CWE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| woot | request body | sudo -R woot woot | Local privilege escalation via sudo's --chroot (-R) option. The attacker provides a user-controlled directory (e.g., 'woot') containing a malicious /etc/nsswitch.conf and a forged NSS library. Sudo loads the library with root privileges during the chroot process before authorization checks are completed. | CWE-829 |
| exploitDir | request body | sudo -R exploitDir HEHE | Exploitation of CVE-2025-32463 where the -R flag is used to point to a directory containing a malicious nsswitch.conf, triggering the loading of a malicious NSS module with root privileges. | CWE-829 |
| bridge | request body | sudo -R bridge bridge | Exploitation of CVE-2025-32463 using the -R (chroot) option to execute a command in a directory where the attacker has placed a malicious nsswitch.conf and a corresponding malicious shared library. | CWE-829 |
| invalid | request body | sudo -R invalid invalid | Vulnerability check for CVE-2025-32463. If the system returns 'No such file or directory', it confirms the sudo version is vulnerable to the chroot-based NSS library injection. | CWE-829 |
