FKIE_CVE-2023-34049
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-11-14 05:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 06:02
Severity
Summary
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.
