The default configuration for salt-ssh in Salt (aka SaltStack) 0.17.0 does not validate the SSH host key of requests, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

Salt (aka SaltStack) 0.15.0 through 0.17.0 allows remote authenticated users who are using external authentication or client ACL to execute restricted routines by embedding the routine in another routine.

Salt (aka SaltStack) before 0.15.0 through 0.17.0 allows remote authenticated minions to impersonate arbitrary minions via a crafted minion with a valid key.

Salt (aka SaltStack) before 0.17.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary YAML code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the vendor states that this might not be a vulnerability because the YAML to be loaded has already been determined to be safe.

Unspecified vulnerability in salt-ssh in Salt (aka SaltStack) 0.17.0 has unspecified impact and vectors related to "insecure Usage of /tmp."
