## Overview

Salt's junos execution module contained an unsafe YAML decode/load usage. A specially crafted YAML payload processed by the junos module could lead to unintended code execution under the context of the Salt process.

## Affected packages

- `salt < 3006.17`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `salt 3006.17`
