The reset password page in Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not force entry of the current password, which allows attackers to modify user passwords by leveraging session hijacking, an unattended workstation, or other vectors.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not set the secure flag for the session cookie in an https session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to capture this cookie by intercepting its transmission within an http session.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.1.0 does not properly restrict the number of authentication attempts by a console account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a brute-force attack.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to obtain the database password via vectors related to how the password is "seeded as a console parameter," External Node Classifiers, and the lack of access control for /nodes.

Puppet: Unsafe use of Temp files in File type

Puppetlabs-apt Command Injection

Command injection is possible in the puppetlabs-apt module prior to version 9.0.0. A malicious actor is able to exploit this vulnerability only if they are able to provide unsanitized input to the module. This condition is rare in most deployments of Puppet and Puppet Enterprise.

Puppet Firewall Module May Leave Unmanaged Rules

In certain situations it is possible for an unmanaged rule to exist on the target system that has the same comment as the rule specified in the manifest. This could allow for unmanaged rules to exist on the target system and leave the system in an unsafe state.

A flaw was divered in Puppet Enterprise and other Puppet products where sensitive plan parameters may be logged

puppet: silent configuration failure in agent
