CVE-2017-14695
Directory traversal vulnerability in minion id validation in SaltStack Salt before 2016.3.8, 2016.11.x before 2016.11.8, and 2017.7.x before 2017.7.2 allows remote minions with incorrect credentials to authenticate to a master via a crafted minion ID.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.59%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
