| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
SaltStack Salt versions 2018.3 through 2018.3.3
SaltStack Salt version 2019.2
Description:
The issue allows an attacker to escalate privileges on a MySQL server deployed by a cloud provider, leading to remote code execution (RCE). This is achieved through a SQL injection attack using a specially crafted password string. The vulnerable component is the
mysql.user chpass function from the MySQL module for Salt.Recommendations:
For SaltStack Salt versions 2018.3 through 2018.3.3, update to version 2018.3.4 to resolve the issue.
For SaltStack Salt version 2019.2, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue, as the specific fixed version for 2019.2 is not provided.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
mysql.user chpass function until a patch is available.Exploit
