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.

puppet: Unsafe YAML deserialization

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.

puppetlabs-mysql 3.1.0 through 3.6.0 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by leveraging creation of a database account without a password when a 'mysql_user' user parameter contains a host with a netmask.

Versions of Puppet Agent prior to 1.6.0 included a version of the Puppet Execution Protocol (PXP) agent that passed environment variables through to Puppet runs. This could allow unauthorized code to be loaded. This bug was first introduced in Puppet Agent 1.3.0.

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the (1) node request management, (2) live management, and (3) user administration components in the console in Puppet Enterprise (PE) before 2.7.1 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors.

The pe_mcollective module in Puppet Enterprise (PE) before 2.7.1 does not properly restrict access to a catalog of private SSL keys, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information and gain privileges by leveraging root access to a node, related to the master role.

Puppet Enterprise (PE) before 2.6.1 does not properly invalidate sessions when the session secret has changed, which allows remote authenticated users to retain access via unspecified vectors.

Puppet Server in Puppet Enterprise before 3.8.x before 3.8.3 and 2015.2.x before 2015.2.3 uses world-readable permissions for the private key of the Certification Authority (CA) certificate during the initial installation and configuration, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

Puppet Enterprise 2015.3 before 2015.3.1 allows remote attackers to bypass a host whitelist protection mechanism by leveraging the Puppet communications protocol.

puppet: incorrect URL decoding

Puppet Server before 2.3.2 and Ruby puppetmaster in Puppet 4.x before 4.4.2 and in Puppet Agent before 1.4.2 might allow remote attackers to bypass intended auth.conf access restrictions by leveraging incorrect URL decoding.

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.

mcollective: aes_security.rb file creation vulnerability

The MCollective aes_security plugin, as used in Puppet Enterprise before 3.3.0 and Mcollective before 2.5.3, does not properly validate new server certificates based on the CA certificate, which allows local users to establish unauthorized Mcollective connections via unspecified vectors related to a race condition.

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.

puppet: Ruby modules could be loaded from the current working directory

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.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.2.0 does not properly restrict access to node endpoints in the console, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

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.

Puppet Enterprise 2.8.x before 2.8.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving hiding and unhiding nodes.

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Puppet Enterprise (PE) before 3.0.1 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that deleting a (1) report, (2) group, or (3) class or possibly have other unspecified impact.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Puppet Dashboard 1.0 before 1.2.5 and Enterprise 1.0 before 1.2.5 and 2.x before 2.0.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified fields.

The master external node classification script in Puppet Enterprise before 3.2.0 does not verify the identity of consoles, which allows remote attackers to create arbitrary classifications on the master by spoofing a console.
