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 Command Injection. 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.
