Saltstack · Salt · CVE-2015-4017
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Salt versions prior to 2014.7.6
**Description**
The issue is related to the lack of certificate verification when connecting via certain modules. Specifically, the `aliyun`, `proxmox`, and `splunk` modules do not verify certificates. This could potentially lead to security risks.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2014.7.6, update to version 2014.7.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of the `aliyun`, `proxmox`, and `splunk` modules until a patch is applied. Restrict access to these modules to minimize the risk of exploitation.
