Sudoers

it's possible to restrict a user's sudo permissions to specific commands or binaries. This is done by configuring the /etc/sudoers file, where certain users can be allowed to run only a defined set of commands with sudo.

Listing Sudo Capabilities

To view the sudo commands available to the current user, run:

sudo -l

This will list all the commands and binaries the user is permitted to execute with sudo, along with any password restrictions.

User <username> may run the following commands on hostname:
    (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt
    (ALL) ALL

• (ALL): Means the user can run commands as any user (e.g., root).

• NOPASSWD: Indicates no password is required for specific commands listed.

If the binary is known and can be exploited to gain root privileges, check on GTFOBins under sudo headlines:
