How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 salt-api to version 3006.0-150400.8.80.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream salt-api package and not the salt-api package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

The salt.auth.pki module does not properly authenticate callers. The "password" field contains a public certificate which is validated against a CA certificate by the module. This is not pki authentication, as the caller does not need access to the corresponding private key for the authentication attempt to be accepted.
