SaltStack Salt en versiones anteriores a la 2017.7.8 y 2018.3.x en versiones anteriores a la 2018.3.3 permite que los atacantes remotos omitan la autenticación y ejecuten comandos arbitrarios mediante salt-api(netapi).

It was discovered that Salt allows remote attackers to determine which files exist on the server. An attacker could use that to extract sensitive information. It was discovered that Salt has a vulnerability that allows an user to bypass authentication. An attacker could use that to extract sensitive information, execute arbitrary code or crash the server.
