7.8 highCVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2017-8109
High (7.8) in saltstack salt. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in salt 2016.11.4.
The salt-ssh minion code in SaltStack Salt 2016.11 before 2016.11.4 copied over configuration from the Salt Master without adjusting permissions, which might leak credentials to local attackers on configured minions (clients).
