It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-1838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2014.7.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2014.7.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2014.7.4\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-2015-1838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1838/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-92pw-mff9-jqgm","PYSEC-2017-29"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SaltStack Python module","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit improper file handling in /tmp to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via the SaltStack serverdensity_device module.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"salt","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-19","name":null}],"description":"modules/serverdensity_device.py in SaltStack before 2014.7.4 does not properly handle files in /tmp.","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 improper handling of tmp files","id":"CVE-2015-1838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora","saltstack:salt"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2015"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"SaltStack has insecure /tmp file handling in salt/modules/chef.py","id":"CVE-2015-1839"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2014.7.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-92pw-mff9-jqgm"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2014.7.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-92pw-mff9-jqgm"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2014.7.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2017-29"}],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2015-1837"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHP-CGI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-4577","kev_date_added":"2024-06-12","published":"2024-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Grafana Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-39226","kev_date_added":"2022-08-25","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware ESXi and Horizon DaaS OpenSLP Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2019-5544","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2024-4947","kev_date_added":"2024-05-20","published":"2024-05-15"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Visuals Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-4671","kev_date_added":"2024-05-13","published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Mojo Insufficient Data Validation","id":"CVE-2022-3075","kev_date_added":"2022-09-08","published":"2022-09-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Indexed DB API Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30633","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-08"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit improper file handling in /tmp to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via the SaltStack serverdensity_device module.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1838/"}
