MEDIUM 5.0EPSS 0.35%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

SchedMD Slurm before 24.05.4 has Incorrect Authorization. A mistake in authentication handling in stepmgr could permit an attacker to execute processes under other users' jobs. This is limited to jobs explicitly running with --stepmgr, or on systems that have globally enabled stepmgr via SlurmctldParameters=enable_stepmgr in their configuration.
