Language:

Synopsis

This plugin reports the SSH commands that failed with a response indicating that privilege escalation is required to run them.

Description

This plugin reports the SSH commands that failed with a response indicating that privilege escalation is required to run them. Either privilege escalation credentials were not provided, or the command failed to run with the provided privilege escalation credentials.

NOTE: Due to limitations inherent to the majority of SSH servers, this plugin may falsely report failures for commands containing error output expected by sudo, such as 'incorrect password', 'not in the sudoers file', or 'not allowed to execute'.
