> * Someone allowed sudo access or set the SUID bit on a GTFOBin. Using these tricks, you may be able to read or write sensitive files or execute privileged commands in a way the person configuring sudo did not know about.
Some enterprise security software that is designed to "mediate privilege elevation" includes an allowlist configured by the administrators. My experience seeing this rolled out at one company was that software on the allowlist no longer required a password to run with `sudo`. The allowlist initially included, of course, all kinds of broadly useful software that made its way onto this list (e.g., vim, bash).
I worked from home at this company, and I remember thinking it was a good thing, because this software deployed to "secure" my computer made it drastically weaker to someone walking up to it and trying to run something if I stepped away from the keyboard for a moment and forgot to lock it.
