CVE	Sev	Risk	CVSS	EPSS	Published	Description
CVE-2016-2788	Cri	0.64	9.8	0.02	Feb 13, 2017	MCollective 2.7.0 and 2.8.x before 2.8.9, as used in Puppet Enterprise, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the mco ping command.
CVE-2017-2292	Cri	0.59	9.0	0.02	Jun 30, 2017	Versions of MCollective prior to 2.10.4 deserialized YAML from agents without calling safe_load, allowing the potential for arbitrary code execution on the server. The fix for this is to call YAML.safe_load on input. This has been tested in all Puppet-supplied MCollective plugins, but there is a chance that third-party plugins could rely on this insecure behavior.
CVE-2016-5716	Hig	0.57	8.8	0.02	Aug 9, 2017	The console in Puppet Enterprise 2015.x and 2016.x prior to 2016.4.0 includes unsafe string reads that potentially allows for remote code execution on the console node.
CVE-2017-2290	Hig	0.57	8.8	0.00	Mar 3, 2017	On Windows installations of the mcollective-puppet-agent plugin, version 1.12.0, a non-administrator user can create an executable that will be executed with administrator privileges on the next "mco puppet" run. Puppet Enterprise users are not affected. This is resolved in mcollective-puppet-agent 1.12.1.
CVE-2015-7330	Hig	0.57	8.8	0.00	Apr 11, 2016	Puppet Enterprise 2015.3 before 2015.3.1 allows remote attackers to bypass a host whitelist protection mechanism by leveraging the Puppet communications protocol.
CVE-2017-7529	Hig	0.56	7.5	0.92	Jul 13, 2017	Nginx versions since 0.5.6 up to and including 1.13.2 are vulnerable to integer overflow vulnerability in nginx range filter module resulting into leak of potentially sensitive information triggered by specially crafted request.
CVE-2017-2295	Hig	0.53	8.2	0.01	Jul 5, 2017	Versions of Puppet prior to 4.10.1 will deserialize data off the wire (from the agent to the server, in this case) with a attacker-specified format. This could be used to force YAML deserialization in an unsafe manner, which would lead to remote code execution. This change constrains the format of data on the wire to PSON or safely decoded YAML.
CVE-2017-2299	Hig	0.49	7.5	0.00	Sep 15, 2017	Versions of the puppetlabs-apache module prior to 1.11.1 and 2.1.0 make it very easy to accidentally misconfigure TLS trust. If you specify the `ssl_ca` parameter but do not specify the `ssl_certs_dir` parameter, a default will be provided for the `ssl_certs_dir` that will trust certificates from any of the system-trusted certificate authorities. This did not affect FreeBSD.
CVE-2017-2294	Hig	0.49	7.5	0.00	Jul 5, 2017	Versions of Puppet Enterprise prior to 2016.4.5 or 2017.2.1 failed to mark MCollective server private keys as sensitive (a feature added in Puppet 4.6), so key values could be logged and stored in PuppetDB. These releases use the sensitive data type to ensure this won't happen anymore.
CVE-2015-4100	Med	0.44	6.8	0.00	Dec 21, 2017	Puppet Enterprise 3.7.x and 3.8.0 might allow remote authenticated users to manage certificates for arbitrary nodes by leveraging a client certificate trusted by the master, aka a "Certificate Authority Reverse Proxy Vulnerability."
CVE-2014-3250	Med	0.42	6.5	0.00	Dec 11, 2017	The default vhost configuration file in Puppet before 3.6.2 does not include the SSLCARevocationCheck directive, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a revoked certificate when a Puppet master runs with Apache 2.4.
CVE-2017-2298	Med	0.42	6.5	0.00	Jun 30, 2017	The mcollective-sshkey-security plugin before 0.5.1 for Puppet uses a server-specified identifier as part of a path where a file is written. A compromised server could use this to write a file to an arbitrary location on the client with the filename appended with the string "_pub.pem".
CVE-2015-6501	Med	0.40	6.1	0.00	Jan 12, 2017	Open redirect vulnerability in the Console in Puppet Enterprise before 2015.2.1 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via the string parameter.
CVE-2016-9686	Med	0.34	5.3	0.00	Feb 8, 2017	The Puppet Communications Protocol (PCP) Broker incorrectly validates message header sizes. An attacker could use this to crash the PCP Broker, preventing commands from being sent to agents. This is resolved in Puppet Enterprise 2016.4.3 and 2016.5.2.
CVE-2020-7942		0.00	—	0.00	Feb 19, 2020	Previously, Puppet operated on a model that a node with a valid certificate was entitled to all information in the system and that a compromised certificate allowed access to everything in the infrastructure. When a node's catalog falls back to the `default` node, the catalog can be retrieved for a different node by modifying facts for the Puppet run. This issue can be mitigated by setting `strict_hostname_checking = true` in `puppet.conf` on your Puppet master. Puppet 6.13.0 and 5.5.19 changes the default behavior for strict_hostname_checking from false to true. It is recommended that Puppet Open Source and Puppet Enterprise users that are not upgrading still set strict_hostname_checking to true to ensure secure behavior. Affected software versions: Puppet 6.x prior to 6.13.0 Puppet Agent 6.x prior to 6.13.0 Puppet 5.5.x prior to 5.5.19 Puppet Agent 5.5.x prior to 5.5.19 Resolved in: Puppet 6.13.0 Puppet Agent 6.13.0 Puppet 5.5.19 Puppet Agent 5.5.19
CVE-2015-1426		0.00	—	0.00	Feb 23, 2015	Puppet Labs Facter 1.6.0 through 2.4.0 allows local users to obtains sensitive Amazon EC2 IAM instance metadata by reading a fact for an Amazon EC2 node.
CVE-2015-1029		0.00	—	0.00	Jan 16, 2015	The puppetlabs-stdlib module 2.1 through 3.0 and 4.1.0 through 4.5.x before 4.5.1 for Puppet 2.8.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges or obtain sensitive information by prepopulating the fact cache.
CVE-2014-9355		0.00	—	0.00	Dec 19, 2014	Puppet Enterprise before 3.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to obtain licensing and certificate signing request information by leveraging access to an unspecified API endpoint.
CVE-2014-7170		0.00	—	0.00	Dec 17, 2014	Race condition in Puppet Server 0.2.0 allows local users to obtain sensitive information by accessing it in between package installation or upgrade and the start of the service.
CVE-2014-3248		0.00	—	0.00	Nov 16, 2014	Untrusted search path vulnerability in Puppet Enterprise 2.8 before 2.8.7, Puppet before 2.7.26 and 3.x before 3.6.2, Facter 1.6.x and 2.x before 2.0.2, Hiera before 1.3.4, and Mcollective before 2.5.2, when running with Ruby 1.9.1 or earlier, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file in the current working directory, as demonstrated using (1) rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb, (2) Win32API.rb, (3) Win32API.so, (4) safe_yaml.rb, (5) safe_yaml/deep.rb, or (6) safe_yaml/deep.so; or (7) operatingsystem.rb, (8) operatingsystem.so, (9) osfamily.rb, or (10) osfamily.so in puppet/confine.
