Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-4435 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 0.15.0; fixed in 0.17.1\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 0.15.0; fixed in 0.17.1\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 0.15.0; fixed in 0.17.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4435/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4435/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4435","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4435/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4435","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v89f-4mc4-h6w9","PYSEC-2013-12"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"SaltStack configuration management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass ACL restrictions to execute restricted routines, leading to privilege escalation and potential code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"salt","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Salt (aka SaltStack) 0.15.0 through 0.17.0 allows remote authenticated users who are using external authentication or client ACL to execute restricted routines by embedding the routine in another routine.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Salt has insufficient argument validation in several modules","id":"CVE-2013-4435","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"saltstack:salt","products":["saltstack:salt"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2013"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SaltStack MITM SSH attack in salt-ssh","id":"CVE-2013-4436"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.17.1"],"introduced":["0.15.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-v89f-4mc4-h6w9"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.17.1"],"introduced":["0.15.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-v89f-4mc4-h6w9"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.17.1"],"introduced":["0.15.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2013-12"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4434"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-11-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SaltStack insecurely uses /tmp","id":"CVE-2013-4437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SaltStack Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2013-6617","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"salt-api unauthenticated remote code execution","id":"CVE-2021-25315","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt Remote command execution and incorrect access control when using salt-api","id":"CVE-2018-15751","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt allows compromised salt-minions to impersonate the salt-master","id":"CVE-2017-7893","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt Directory traversal vulnerability in minion id validation","id":"CVE-2017-14695","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass ACL restrictions to execute restricted routines, leading to privilege escalation and potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4435/"}
