CVE-2025-22242 Details
Description
Worker process denial of service through file read operation. .A vulnerability exists in the Master's “pub_ret” method which is exposed to all minions. The un-sanitized input value “jid” is used to construct a path which is then opened for reading. An attacker could exploit this vulnerabilities by attempting to read from a filename that will not return any data, e.g. by targeting a pipe node on the proc file system.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in SaltStack's Master component, specifically within the 'pub_ret' method. This issue arises because the 'jid' input value is not properly sanitized before being used to construct a file path for reading operations. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by targeting filenames that are unlikely to return data, such as pipe nodes in the proc file system.
