SCA: security update for salt (GHSA-4277-m35q-7c9w)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409806
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- 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. (CVE-2023-34049)
