Everyone is focusing on the fact that this us C vs rust. The original sudo has issues on its own. Its a large code base that does lots of things and has inherent security vulnerabilities.

Sudo is worth redoing regardless of language.

Sudo is worth redoing regardless of language.

Or move away from it entirely, e.g. to something like doas which OpenBSD migrated to a decade ago.
