Perl : Executing the sudo command inside the application

Inside the application, code is executed with sudo, which can lead to escalation of privileges.

The sudo command allows users, after entering a password, to execute commands on behalf of a superuser (“root”) or other users. Running a script using this command can potentially be a security hole, especially if there are vulnerabilities in the script being run. In addition, running the application will require a password from the user or a special configuration of the sudoers file each time.
