Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38824 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3006.0rc1; fixed in 3006.12, 3007.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3006.0rc1; fixed in 3006.12\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3006.0rc1; fixed in 3006.12\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3007.0rc1; fixed in 3007.4\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 3007.0rc1; fixed in 3007.4\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-2024-38824/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38824/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38824","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38824/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38824","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8pcp-r83j-fc92","PYSEC-2026-529","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38824"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Salt configuration management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can write arbitrary files to the master cache directory via a directory traversal vulnerability in the recv_file method.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"salt","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":9.6,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in recv_file method allows arbitrary files to be written to the master cache directory.","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":"CVE-2024-38824 salt advisory","id":"CVE-2024-38824","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"saltstack:salt","products":["saltstack:salt"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"CVE-2024-38825 Salt Advisory","id":"CVE-2024-38825"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3006.12","3007.4"],"introduced":["3006.0rc1","3007.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2026-529"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3006.12"],"introduced":["3006.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8pcp-r83j-fc92"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3006.12"],"introduced":["3006.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-8pcp-r83j-fc92"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3007.4"],"introduced":["3007.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8pcp-r83j-fc92"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3007.4"],"introduced":["3007.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-8pcp-r83j-fc92"}],"prev":{"headline":"CVE-2024-38823 Salt Advisory","id":"CVE-2024-38823"},"products":["SALT"],"published":"2025-06-13","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["VMware"]},"summary":"An attacker can write arbitrary files to the master cache directory via a directory traversal vulnerability in the recv_file method.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38824/"}
