CVE-2024-32019 – ndsudo: local privilege escalation via untrusted search path

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-32019

Netdata is an open source observability tool. In affected versions the `ndsudo` tool shipped with affected versions of the Netdata Agent allows an attacker to run arbitrary programs with root permissions. The `ndsudo` tool is packaged as a `root`-owned executable with the SUID bit set. It only runs a restricted set of external commands, but its search paths are supplied by the `PATH` environment variable. This allows an attacker to control where `ndsudo` looks for these commands, which may be a path the attacker has write access to. • https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/17377 https://github.com/netdata/netdata/security/advisories/GHSA-pmhq-4cxq-wj93 • CWE-426: Untrusted Search Path •
