systemd is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. The vulnerability occurs because systemd does not set ‘LESSSECURE’ to 1 and due to this programs can be launched from the less program without privileges. This can be exploited when running systemctl from Sudo, since less executes as root when the terminal size is too small to show the complete systemctl output.
