Description
File contents overwrite the VirtKey class is called when “on-demand pillar” data is requested and uses un-validated input to create paths to the “pki directory”. The functionality is used to auto-accept Minion authentication keys based on a pre-placed “authorization file” at a specific location and is present in the default configuration.
Analysis

The functionality is used to auto-accept Minion authentication keys based on a pre-placed “authorization file” at a specific location and is present in the default configuration.
Technical Context
Path traversal allows an attacker to access files outside the intended directory by manipulating file paths with sequences like '../'.
Remediation
Validate and sanitize file path inputs. Use a whitelist of allowed files or directories. Implement chroot jails or containerization.
