When a user who hasn't logged in to the system before (i.e. doesn't exist in the authd user database) logs in via SSH, the user is considered a member of the root group in the context of the SSH session. That leads to a local privilege escalation if the user should not have root privileges.

@cR0w Am I reading this right that any random Joe logging into a computer remotely via the internet would have instant right to do whatever they pleased with said computer, like deleting files willy nilly? If so, then God damn
@sapphicselene AFAICT you would already need an account on the target system, just not a privileged one.
