Don't target root user in the sudoers file
Medium Severity
The targeted users of a user specification should be, as much as possible, non privileged users (i.e.: non-root). User specifications have to explicitly list the runas spec (i.e. the list of target users that can be impersonated), and
ALL
or
root
should not be used.
