Directory Traversal

Salt is vulnerable to Directory Traversal. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation due to the recvfile method allowing arbitrary files to be written to the master cache directory through crafted path input...

Improper Authorization

Salt is vulnerable to Improper Authorization. The vulnerability is due to improper authorization due to the master's minionevent method allowing authorized minions to inject arbitrary events into the master's event bus...

Directory Traversal

Salt is vulnerable to a Directory traversal. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of file paths during cache creation, allowing attackers to write or overwrite files outside the intended cache directory...

Remote Code Execution (RCE)
