Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38825 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-2024-38825/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38825/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38825","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38825/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38825","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4j59-vv55-q6h3","PYSEC-2026-1893","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38825"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Salt configuration management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass PKI authentication in Salt by submitting a public certificate without the private key, gaining unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The salt.auth.pki module does not properly authenticate callers.
