What is CVE-2023-28487?

Earlier versions of Sudo, specifically before 1.9.13, are susceptible to insufficient handling of control characters in the output generated by the 'sudoreplay' command. This can lead to unexpected behavior or exposure of sensitive information during command replay. System administrators using affected versions should upgrade to version 1.9.13 or later to mitigate this issue.
