Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place, ``bandit``, to address similar issues througout the code base, and prevent them. (CVE-2021-31607)
- Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

Changed

- Store git sha in salt/_version.py when installing from a tag so it can be found if needed later. (59137)

proxy, cimc proxy, zenoss module, esxi module, vsphere module, glassfish

to skip SSL verification you can use `verify_ssl: False`. (CVE-2020-35662)

vulnerable to directory traversal. (CVE-2021-25282)
- CVE-2021-25283 - Fix the jinja render to protect against server side template
injection attacks. (CVE-2021-25283)
- CVE-2021-25284 - Fix cmdmod so it will not log credentials to log levels info
and error. (CVE-2021-25284)

by cli and netapi. (CVE-2021-3197)

Fixed
- Fix server core grains issue when running inside a windows container (59611)
- Change dict check to isinstance instead of type() for key_values in file.keyvalue. (57758)
- Fail when func_ret is False when using the new module.run syntax. (57768)
- Fix comparison of certificate values (58296)
- When using ssh_pre_flight if there is a failure, fail on retcode not stderr. (58439)
- Fix use of unauthd cached vmware service instance (58691)
- Removing use of undefined varilable in utils/slack.py. (58753)
- Restored the ability to specify the amount of extents for a Logical
Volume as a percentage. (58759)

- Allow bytes in gpg renderer (58794)
- Fix issue where win_wua module fails to load when BITS is set to Manual (58848)
- Ensure that elasticsearch.index_exists is available before loading the elasticsearch returner. (58851)
- Log a different object when debugging if we're using disk cache vs memory cache. The disk cache pillar class has the dict object but the cache pillar object which is used with the memory cache does not include a _dict obeject because it is a dict already. (58861)
- Do not generate grains for every job run on Windows minions. This makes Windows
conform more to the way posix OSes work today. (58904)
- Fixes salt-ssh authentication when using tty (58922)
- Revert LazyLoader finalizer. Removed the weakref.finalizer code. On some occasions, the finalized would run when trying to load a new module, firing a race condition. (58947)
