CVE-2013-1775
CWE-264Published: March 5, 2013· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
6.9
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
sudo 1.6.0 through 1.7.10p6 and sudo 1.8.0 through 1.8.6p6 allows local users or physically proximate attackers to bypass intended time restrictions and retain privileges without re-authenticating by setting the system clock and sudo user timestamp to the epoch.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-1775 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2013-1775. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
