The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5011 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. The minion’s restartcheck is vulnerable to command injection via a crafted process name. This allows for a local privilege escalation by any user able to create a files on the minion in a non-blacklisted directory. (CVE-2020-28243)

  • In SaltStack Salt before 3002.5, authentication to VMware vcenter, vsphere, and esxi servers (in the vmware.py files) does not always validate the SSL/TLS certificate. (CVE-2020-28972)

  • In SaltStack Salt before 3002.5, when authenticating to services using certain modules, the SSL certificate is not always validated. (CVE-2020-35662)

  • An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. A user who has control of the source, and source_hash URLs can gain full file system access as root on a salt minion. (CVE-2021-21996)

  • An issue was discovered in through SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. salt-api does not honor eauth credentials for the wheel_async client. Thus, an attacker can remotely run any wheel modules on the master.
    (CVE-2021-25281)

  • An issue was discovered in through SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. The salt.wheel.pillar_roots.write method is vulnerable to directory traversal. (CVE-2021-25282)

  • An issue was discovered in through SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. The jinja renderer does not protect against server side template injection attacks. (CVE-2021-25283)

  • An issue was discovered in through SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. salt.modules.cmdmod can log credentials to the info or error log level. (CVE-2021-25284)

  • In SaltStack Salt before 3002.5, eauth tokens can be used once after expiration. (They might be used to run command against the salt master or minions.) (CVE-2021-3144)

  • An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. Sending crafted web requests to the Salt API can result in salt.utils.thin.gen_thin() command injection because of different handling of single versus double quotes. This is related to salt/utils/thin.py. (CVE-2021-3148)

  • In SaltStack Salt 2016.9 through 3002.6, a command injection vulnerability exists in the snapper module that allows for local privilege escalation on a minion. The attack requires that a file is created with a pathname that is backed up by snapper, and that the master calls the snapper.diff function (which executes popen unsafely). (CVE-2021-31607)

  • An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. The salt-api’s ssh client is vulnerable to a shell injection by including ProxyCommand in an argument, or via ssh_options provided in an API request.
    (CVE-2021-3197)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
