How to fix?

Upgrade salt to version 3002.9, 3003.5, 3004.2 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 Access Restriction Bypass where a previously authorized user whose account is locked can still run Salt commands. This affects both local shell accounts with an active session and salt-api users that authenticate via PAM eauth.

Workaround: If the user can not upgrade to the fixed version, it is possible to:

  1. remove locked accounts rather than rely on Salt’s PAM eauth functionality.

  2. change to a different eauth module.
