Salt's salt.auth.pki module does not properly authenticate callers
Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-1893 — salt: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'salt>=3006.12'Details
The salt.auth.pki module does not properly authenticate callers. The "password" field contains a public certificate which is validated against a CA certificate by the module. This is not pki authentication, as the caller does not need access to the corresponding private key for the authentication attempt to be accepted.
