if those users are not trustworthy than the bug is giving them sudo,
nothing else. (Debian does not give sudo to users by default. The default
is to set a root password.)

if you give someone a gun for hunting (animals) and that person uses
the gun for hunting people, the problem is not in the configuration of
that gun, but that someone.
