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-2017-8109 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11; fixed in 2016.11.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11; fixed in 2016.11.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11; fixed in 2016.11.4\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-2017-8109/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8109/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8109","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8109/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8109","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xcx4-5wq7-g5g7","PYSEC-2017-82"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SaltStack configuration management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read leaked credentials from Salt Minion configurations due to improper permission handling during salt-ssh operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"salt","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The salt-ssh minion code in SaltStack Salt 2016.11 before 2016.11.4 copied over configuration from the Salt Master without adjusting permissions, which might leak credentials to local attackers on configured minions (clients).","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 Information Exposure","id":"CVE-2017-8109","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"saltstack:salt","products":["saltstack:salt"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2017"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8110"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.11.4"],"introduced":["2016.11"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-xcx4-5wq7-g5g7"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.11.4"],"introduced":["2016.11"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-xcx4-5wq7-g5g7"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.11.4"],"introduced":["2016.11"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2017-82"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8108"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-25","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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can read leaked credentials from Salt Minion configurations due to improper permission handling during salt-ssh operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8109/"}
