CVE-2024-38825
Publication date 13 June 2025
Last updated 18 June 2025
Ubuntu priority
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.
