CVE-2013-2716

First published: Wed Apr 10 2013(Updated: )

Puppet Labs Puppet Enterprise before 2.8.0 does not use a "randomized secret" in the CAS client config file (cas_client_config.yml) when upgrading from older 1.2.x or 2.0.x versions, which allows remote attackers to obtain console access via a crafted cookie.
