Here is a workaround that I am currently using:

{
  "first_launch": {
    "user": "root",
    "cmd": "bash -c '/usr/bin/desktop_ready && apt-get update && apt-get install -y sudo openssh-client && echo \"kasm-user  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL\" >> /etc/sudoers'"
  }

And here is the link of the issue I opened on workspaces-images repo initially:
