This is one of the reasons sudo should (by default) only allow a whitelist of built-in commands to be run with wildcards.

Somewhat like sudoedit.

This is of course for the corporate case of a less privileged user performing a certain task at elevated privileges. Not for the more common use of sudo (these days) of people managing their own personal machines.

It's the shell that expands the wildcards which are passed to sudo as arguments.
