waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-76x4-x3p6-rpr9 ↗EUVD-2021-0228 ↗
description
Salt releases before 3002.5 contain a directory-traversal flaw in the pillar_roots.write function. An unauthenticated remote attacker who can reach an interface exposing this function may write files outside the intended pillar-root location.
mitigation
Upgrade Salt to version 3002.5 or later. Until updates are deployed, restrict network access to Salt services and disable or limit access to the affected write function where possible.
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
