An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-14695 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2016.3.8, 2016.11.8, 2017.7.2\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2016.3.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2016.3.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11.0; fixed in 2016.11.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11.0; fixed in 2016.11.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2017.7.0; fixed in 2017.7.2\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2017.7.0; fixed in 2017.7.2\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-2017-14695/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14695/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14695","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14695/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14695","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j6gj-pg62-x8j6","PYSEC-2017-36","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-14695"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SaltStack Salt","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the Salt master by exploiting a directory traversal flaw in minion ID validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"salt","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in minion id validation in SaltStack Salt before 2016.3.8, 2016.11.x before 2016.11.8, and 2017.7.x before 2017.7.2 allows remote minions with incorrect credentials to authenticate to a master via a crafted minion ID.
