CVE-2026-14474 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) LDAP sudo provider. When ldap_sudo_search_base is not explicitly configured, the provider searches the entire LDAP directory tree for sudoRole objects rather than restricting policy discovery to a controlled subtree. An authenticated LDAP user with write access to any subtree can inject a sudoRole object granting root-level sudo privileges. Affected SSSD-enrolled hosts can consequently accept attacker-controlled directory entries as trusted sudo policy.

A privilege escalation flaw in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider. Without an explicitly configured LDAP sudo search base, an authenticated attacker with write access to an LDAP subtree can inject sudo rules granting root privileges across SSSD-enrolled hosts.
A privilege escalation vulnerability in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider allows an authenticated attacker with write access to an LDAP subtree to inject sudoRole objects when ldap_sudo_search_base is not explicitly configured. The injected objects can grant root-level sudo privileges across SSSD-enrolled hosts.
SSSD's LDAP sudo provider uses an overly broad search scope when ldap_sudo_search_base is unset. An authenticated attacker with write access to any LDAP subtree can inject a sudoRole object granting root-level sudo privileges on all SSSD-enrolled hosts.
