CVE-2024-38825

MEDIUM

Salt 3006.0rc1-3006.11 and 3007.0-3007.3 - Improper Authentication in PKI Module

Title source: llm

Description

The salt.auth.pki module does not properly authenticate callers. The "password" field contains a public certificate which is validated against a CA certificate by the module. This is not pki authentication, as the caller does not need access to the corresponding private key for the authentication attempt to be accepted.
