CVE-2024-48936: SchedMD Slurm before 24.05.4 has Incorrect Authorization.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.35% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: slurm-wlm (Debian:13) 24.05.4-1; pdsh (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 2.35-150500.46.6.3; pdsh_slurm_22_05 (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 2.35-150300.54.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to slurm-wlm (Debian:13) 24.05.4-1; pdsh (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 2.35-150500.46.6.3; pdsh_slurm_22_05 (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 2.35-150300.54.3 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

SchedMD Slurm before 24.05.4 has Incorrect Authorization. A mistake in authentication handling in stepmgr could permit an attacker to execute processes under other users' jobs. This is limited to jobs explicitly running with --stepmgr, or on systems that have globally enabled stepmgr via SlurmctldParameters=enable_stepmgr in their configuration.
