CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1188.html

A flaw was found in SSSDs LDAP sudo provider. When the ldap_sudo_search_base option is not explicitly configured, SSSD searches the entire LDAP directory tree for sudoRole objects. An authenticated attacker with write access to any subtree can inject a sudoRole object granting root-level sudo privileges on all SSSD-enrolled hosts.

Weakness

The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the product’s installer, administrator, or maintainer, but the default is not secure.
