AI-Generated

NexTor IP Changer versions prior to 2.0.0 are vulnerable due to their use of `sudo` with `shell=True`, allowing the execution of privileged commands without user confirmation in environments with passwordless sudo enabled. This can lead to unauthorized command execution, posing a significant security risk. Organizations using this tool should prioritize upgrading to version 2.0.0 to mitigate potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description

NexTor IP Changer is a command-line tool that leverages the Tor network to periodically rotate a user's IP address. Versions prior to 2.0.0 execute privileged system commands using `sudo` and `shell=True` directly inside application logic. In environments where passwordless sudo (`NOPASSWD`) is enabled, privileged commands may execute silently without explicit user confirmation. Version 2.0.0 fixes the issue.
