Salt (aka SaltStack) 0.15.0 through 0.17.0 allows remote authenticated users who are using external authentication or client ACL to execute restricted routines by embedding the routine in another routine.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects older Salt/SaltStack deployments where authenticated users are controlled by external authentication or client ACLs. A user with access could bypass intended routine restrictions by nesting a restricted routine inside another routine. Because Salt can administer infrastructure, exposure depends heavily on deployment role and privileges. Likely limited to legacy Salt 0.15.0 through 0.17.0 installations that use external authentication or client ACLs. Systems not running those versions, or not using those authorization mechanisms, are not evidenced as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy configuration-management risk. It is not supported by active-exploitation evidence, but affected Salt servers may control many systems. Prioritize remediation if any exposed or shared administrative Salt environment still runs the affected versions. Mitigation focus: Inventory Salt/SaltStack versions and prioritize any 0.15.0 through 0.17.0 deployments.; Review Salt 0.17.1 release guidance and upgrade beyond the affected versions.; Audit external authentication and client ACL rules for unnecessary access..
