root-vortex

2.1.3

Live on PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The flagged file executes Python code that directly invokes os.system to run “sudo su”, thereby attempting to spawn a root shell without any authentication or user consent, and thereafter echoes “Root Access Granted!”. This constitutes a backdoor‑style privilege escalation mechanism capable of granting unauthorized root privileges and enabling arbitrary command execution on the host system.
