Brother, that's not how Kali Linux works. You should first learn about it.

1.sudo basj
2.enter password
3.i received the following error 'sudo: basj: command not found'
4.after i tried 'sudo bash' then without any password i got super user privileges

This is not a bug.
basj is not a command. I think you are trying to run "sudo bash"
sudo runs any command as administrator
