Data could sudo read hash passwords? how?

Hello,

user ABC is granted sudo rights to start the application.
So upon attempting to start the application, user ABC is required to enter its password.

If we wanted to user ABC is create a cron job to start the application, how will user ABC feed in the password in the cron job?

I know sudoers file allows NOPASSWD parameter, to not get prompted for password. But, that is not allowed to us.

Is it possible to create a file with hashed password for ABC and pass it to the sudo command? If possible, then how?

Are there any other alternatives?

Thank you.
