Code execution via unsafe Junos YAML loading
Published Jan 30, 2026 · Updated Jan 30, 2026
Code injection in Salt 3006.0 through 3006.16 and 3007.0 through 3007.8 allows local users to execute code through junos.get_table. The function reads a caller-selected YAML table file with yamlordereddictloader.Loader, which accepts Python object constructors from untrusted content. Low-privilege access and a Junos table payload are required; successful exploitation runs arbitrary Python code in the Salt process context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=3006.0 <3006.17
- Affected versionversion=3007.0 <3007.9
