It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-22240 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-2025-22240/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22240/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-22240","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22240/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-22240","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xh32-3m67-qjgf","PYSEC-2026-1903","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-22240"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Salt configuration management","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can delete arbitrary files or create directories on the Salt Master via path traversal in GitFS, potentially causing data loss or service disruption.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Arbitrary directory creation or file deletion.
