Upgrade salt to version 3002.5, 3001.6, 3000.8 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 Authorization. The SaltAPI does not honor eauth credentials for the wheel_async client. Thus, an attacker can remotely run any wheel modules on the master.
