CVE-2023-34049  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 salt to version 3006.0-150200.113.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream salt package and not the salt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Salt-SSH pre-flight option copies the script to the target at a predictable path, which allows an attacker to force Salt-SSH to run their script. If an attacker has access to the target VM and knows the path to the pre-flight script before it runs they can ensure Salt-SSH runs their script with the privileges of the user running Salt-SSH. Do not make the copy path on the target predictable and ensure we check return codes of the scp command if the copy fails.
