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-2017-7893 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2016.3.6\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2016.3.6\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2016.3.6\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-2017-7893/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7893/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7893","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7893/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7893","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g283-88v5-rmq2","PYSEC-2018-50","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-7893"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SaltStack configuration management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Compromised salt-minions can impersonate the salt-master, allowing attackers to escalate privileges and execute code on managed systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"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":[],"description":"In SaltStack Salt before 2016.3.6, compromised salt-minions can impersonate the salt-master.","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":"SaltStack Salt allows compromised salt-minions to impersonate the salt-master","id":"CVE-2017-7893","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"saltstack:salt","products":["saltstack:salt"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7894"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.3.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-g283-88v5-rmq2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.3.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-g283-88v5-rmq2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.3.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2018-50"}],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7892"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-23","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 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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Compromised salt-minions can impersonate the salt-master, allowing attackers to escalate privileges and execute code on managed systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7893/"}
