Microsoft announced the sudo command for Windows 11 last week when it released build 26052 for Windows Insiders. Although it was also spotted in Server builds, sudo is not coming to Windows Server.
Windows 11 is getting sudo, a command Linux and macOS users know well and often use to execute a command with elevated privileges. Early sudo bits and pieces were spotted in the latest Server build.
A subset of users with sudo access could have run commands restricted to root users by leveraging a discovered exploit in a function return call that changes the user ID in Linux and Unix systems.
