NewCVE-2025-22241 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade salt to version 3006.12, 3007.4 or higher.
Overview
salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation via the VirtKey process when on-demand pillar data is requested and unvalidated input is used to construct paths to the pki directory. An attacker can overwrite file contents and potentially auto-accept Minion authentication keys by placing a crafted authorization file at a specific location.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the default configuration is used, which enables this functionality.
