  CVE-2024-38823

  CVE-2024-38825
  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.

  CVSS 8.1 AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L

  CVE-2025-22237

  CVSS 6.7 AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  CVE-2025-22238
  Directory traversal attack in minion file cache creation. The master's default cache is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack. Which could be leveraged to write or overwrite 'cache' files outside of the cache directory.

  CVSS 4.2 AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

  CVE-2025-22239
  Arbitrary event injection on Salt Master. The master's "_minion_event" method can be used by and authorized minion to send arbitrary events onto the master's event bus.

  CVSS 8.1 AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L

  CVE-2025-22240
  Arbitrary directory creation or file deletion. In the find_file method of the GitFS class, a path is created using os.path.join using unvalidated input from the “tgt_env” variable. This can be exploited by an attacker to delete any file on the Master's process has permissions to

  CVSS 6.3 AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  CVE-2025-22241
  File contents overwrite the VirtKey class is called when “on-demand pillar” data is requested and uses un-validated input to create paths to the “pki directory”. The functionality is used to auto-accept Minion authentication keys based on a pre-placed “authorization file” at a specific location and is present in the default configuration.

  CVSS 5.6 AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

  CVE-2025-22242
  Worker process denial of service through file read operation. .A vulnerability exists in the Master's “pub_ret” method which is exposed to all minions. The un-sanitized input value “jid” is used to construct a path which is then opened for reading. An attacker could exploit this vulnerabilities by attempting to read from a filename that will not return any data, e.g. by targeting a pipe node on the proc file system.

  CVSS 5.6 AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
