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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":6.7},"cwes":[],"references":["https://saltproject.io/security-announcements/2023-10-27-advisory/"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:57:07.693694550+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-34049","score":0.00207,"percentile":0.10783,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-4277-m35q-7c9w","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-4277-m35q-7c9w","summary":"Salt preflight script could be attacker controlled","modified":"2026-07-07T17:57:27.070604061Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","ranges":["<3005.4"],"fixed":["3005.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","ranges":[">=3006.0rc1 <3006.4"],"fixed":["3006.4"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1892","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1892","summary":"Salt preflight script could be attacker controlled","modified":"2026-07-07T17:47:51.845406929Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","ranges":["<3005.4",">=3006.0rc1 <3006.4"],"fixed":["3005.4","3006.4"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
