"According to its self-reported version number, the instance of SaltStack hosted on the remote server is affected by
multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in recv_file method allows arbitrary files to be written to the master
    cache directory. (CVE-2024-38824)

  - Minion event bus authorization bypass. An attacker with access to a minion key can craft a message which
    may be able to execute a job on other minions (>= 3007.0). (CVE-2025-22236)

  - Arbitrary event injection on Salt Master. The master's _minion_event method can be used by and authorized
    minion to send arbitrary events onto the master's event bus. (CVE-2025-22239)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version");
