CVSS 3.1
6.4 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCVE-2024-38825
Medium (6.4). EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in salt 3006.12, 3007.4.
The salt.auth.pki module does not properly authenticate callers. The "password" field contains a public certificate which is validated against a CA certificate by the module. This is not pki authentication, as the caller does not need access to the corresponding private key for the authentication attempt to be accepted.
