Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the PluginInstaller::addSudoers function (src/RaspAP/Plugins/PluginInstaller.php), which improperly manages sudo rule configuration. An authenticated remote attacker can manipulate the sudo configuration through the web interface to gain elevated privileges. The exploit chains multiple vulnerabilities together: command injection in SSID handling, arbitrary file deletion via OpenVPN configuration, and privilege escalation through plugin_helper.sh to achieve root access from the www-data user context.
