Package: sudo
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: normal

This might be a duplicate with bug#198991, but is actually a response
to the resolution of bug#536222.

The NOPASSWD option is, as bug#198991 points out, an alarming security
hole and should not be configured by default for any accounts. The
configuration for the ‘sudo’ group should instead be:

   %sudo   ALL=(ALL) ALL

thus allowing anyone in the ‘sudo’ group to use sudo for any command
as any user, but not without authentication.
