      I love the warning note

      Sudo for Windows can be used as a potential escalation of privilege vector when enabled in certain configurations. You should make sure to be aware of the security considerations when enabling the sudo command on your machine.

      What do you mean a master-key/privilege escalation tool can cause a privilege escalation vulnerability, who knew 😂

        Well to be fair, there’s probably a lot of people who have no fucking clue what sudo is, but are getting instructions from stack overflow err, AI. Not that this warning would necessarily stop them, but there was an attempt.

          Fair, I have a handful of dev friends who I know don’t know “why” a command or script works, just that it does, so I guess that statement would likely help them.
