Prossimo is excited to announce the release of sudo-rs, a Rust rewrite of the sudo utility. The sudo utility is widely used by engineers to switch between user and administrative accounts in the Linux operating system. The security of sudo is crucial, which is why sudo-rs was developed. It enhances security by using a memory safe language (Rust), omitting less commonly used features, and having an extensive test suite. The Wolfi Linux OS already includes sudo-rs, and it is hoped that others will follow suit. Building sudo-rs is a significant step in eliminating potential security issues and addressing supply chain threats.
