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-2018-15751 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11.0; fixed in 2016.11.10\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2016.11.0; fixed in 2016.11.10\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2017.7.0; fixed in 2017.7.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2017.7.0; fixed in 2017.7.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2018.3.0; fixed in 2018.3.3, 2017.7.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2018.3.0; fixed in 2018.3.3\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2018.3.0; fixed in 2018.3.3\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-2018-15751/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15751/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15751","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15751/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15751","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63","PYSEC-2018-30","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-15751"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"SaltStack configuration management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in SaltStack Salt API to execute arbitrary commands, requiring the netapi feature to be enabled.","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":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"SaltStack Salt before 2017.7.8 and 2018.3.x before 2018.3.3 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands via salt-api(netapi).","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 Remote command execution and incorrect access control when using salt-api","id":"CVE-2018-15751","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"saltstack:salt","products":["saltstack:salt"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":7,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15752"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.11.10"],"introduced":["2016.11.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2016.11.10"],"introduced":["2016.11.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2017.7.8"],"introduced":["2017.7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2017.7.8"],"introduced":["2017.7.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2018.3.3","2017.7.8"],"introduced":["2018.3.0","0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2018-30"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2018.3.3"],"introduced":["2018.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2018.3.3"],"introduced":["2018.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-x549-r7m8-gv63"}],"prev":{"headline":"SaltStack Salt Directory Traversal vulnerability in salt-api","id":"CVE-2018-15750"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-10-24","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 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":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in SaltStack Salt API to execute arbitrary commands, requiring the netapi feature to be enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15751/"}
