No, you can’t. I think the blame shouldn’t be on this author, but on those choosing to install it or, worse, choosing to ship it on their OS.

OpenBSD replaced sudo with doas (http://man.openbsd.org/doas) in 2016 (https://www.infoworld.com/article/3099038/openbsd-60-tighten...). It’s a safe bet it’s more secure than sudo.

Sudo was (maybe still is?) an OpenBSD project. I don't believe it originated there, but their code forms/formed the basis for sudo pretty much everywhere, much like OpenSSH.

doas is a a really good replacement.
