[00:00:00]You have probably never questioned why Vim has sudo access on some systems.

[00:00:04]Most people think privilege escalation needs exploit or kernel bugs. So, first, you check what you can run as root, and sudo that ill tells you that. And at first glance, this may look harmless, but it's not. And when you run Vim with sudo, then colon shebang/bin/bash, and boom, you are root. Because Vim is running with elevated privileges, it can spawn a shell that inherits them. If you want weekly breakdowns like this, join our dispatch. Link is in the bio. So, next time you see Vim in sudo permissions, it's not an editor anymore.

[00:00:43]It's a root shell waiting to happen.
