""" Two security issues were discovered in sudo-rs, a Rust-based implemention of sudo (and su), which could result in the local disclosure of partially typed passwords or an authentication bypass in some targetpw/rootpw configurations.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5-5+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your rust-sudo-rs packages. """
But sudo has its share of CVEs as well (latest CVE-2025-32463), so perhaps a fresh look on the tool is warranted; perhaps some learnings have been taken from it.
(Obligatory disclaimer: I love rust, I hate fanboys and rewrites)

Maybe model checkers could be used, but perhaps the search space is too large for all the featuers, and keeping the source in sync with the model could be quite fragile. And who knows, maybe the model would have the same issue.
