Synopsis

The version of SaltStack running on the remote server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of SaltStack hosted on the remote server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Salt Masters do not sign pillar data with the minion's public key, which can result in attackers substituting arbitrary pillar data. (CVE-2022-22934)

- Job publishes and file server replies are susceptible to replay attacks, which can result in an attacker replaying job publishes causing minions to run old jobs. (CVE-2022-22936)
- When configured as a Master-of-Masters, with a publisher_acl, if a user configured in the publisher_acl targets any minion connected to the Syndic, the Salt Master incorrectly interpreted no valid targets as valid, allowing configured users to target any of the minions connected to the syndic with their configured commands. (CVE-2022-22941)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version

Solution

Upgrade to SaltStack version referenced in the vendor security advisory.
