title: Linux Sudo Chroot Execution
id: f2bed782-994e-4f40-9cd5-518198cb3fba
status: experimental
description: |
Detects the execution of 'sudo' command with '--chroot' option, which is used to change the root directory for command execution.
Attackers may use this technique to evade detection and execute commands in a modified environment.
This can be part of a privilege escalation strategy, as it allows the execution of commands with elevated privileges in a controlled environment as seen in CVE-2025-32463.
While investigating, look out for unusual or unexpected use of 'sudo --chroot' in conjunction with other commands or scripts such as execution from temporary directories or unusual user accounts.
