CVE-2026-14474high8.8

Sssd: sssd: sudo ldap provider searches entire directory tree for sudorole objects by default, enabling privilege escalation

Impact

A flaw in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider allows an authenticated attacker with write access to any subtree to inject a sudoRole object, granting root-level sudo privileges. The vulnerability occurs when the ldap_sudo_search_base option is not explicitly configured, causing SSSD to search the entire LDAP directory tree for sudoRole objects.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

What to do

Set ldap_sudo_search_base explicitly in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf to restrict the search to the designated sudoers container:

[domain/example.com] ldap_sudo_search_base = ou=sudoers,dc=example,dc=com

Additionally, restrict LDAP ACLs to prevent non-admin principals from creating sudoRole objects outside the designated sudoers container.

An authenticated attacker with write access to any subtree can inject a sudoRole object granting root-level sudo privileges on all SSSD-enrolled hosts.
