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-2022-22936 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3002.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3002.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3002.8\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3003; fixed in 3003.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3003; fixed in 3003.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3004; fixed in 3004.1\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3004; fixed in 3004.1\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-2022-22936/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22936/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-22936","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22936/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-22936","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5r3f-3m3j-wcj2","PYSEC-2022-173","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-22936"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SaltStack configuration management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can replay job publishes and file server replies to execute old jobs or gain root access on SaltStack minions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"salt","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-294","name":"Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1.
