CVE-2025-62348

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.
