The pxp-agent component in Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.x before 2015.3.3 and Puppet Agent 1.3.x before 1.3.6 does not properly validate server certificates, which might allow remote attackers to spoof brokers and execute arbitrary commands via a crafted certificate.
A flaw was discovered in Puppet Agent and Puppet Server that may result in a leak of HTTP credentials when following HTTP redirects to a different host. This is similar to CVE-2018-1000007
The express install, which is the suggested way to install Puppet Enterprise, gives the user a URL at the end of the install to set the admin password. If they do not use that URL, there is an overlooked default password for the admin user. This was resolved in Puppet Enterprise 2019.0.3 and 2018.1.9.
When users are configured to use startTLS with RBAC LDAP, at login time, the user's credentials are sent via plaintext to the LDAP server. This affects Puppet Enterprise 2018.1.3, 2017.3.9, and 2016.4.14, and is fixed in Puppet Enterprise 2018.1.4, 2017.3.10, and 2016.4.15. It scored an 8.5 CVSS score.
A privilege escalation allowing remote code execution was discovered in the orchestration service.
Versions of Puppet Enterprise prior to 2021.7.6 and 2023.5 contain a flaw which results in broken session management for SAML implementations.
The (1) template and (2) inlinetemplate functions in the master server in Puppet before 2.6.18, 2.7.x before 2.7.21, and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, and Puppet Enterprise before 1.2.7 and 2.7.x before 2.7.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted catalog request.
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 Enterprise presented a security risk by not sanitizing user input when doing a CSV export.
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.
A flaw was discovered in Puppet DB, this flaw results in an escalation of privileges which allows the user to delete tables via an SQL query.
Parts of the Puppet Enterprise Console 3.x were found to be susceptible to clickjacking and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks. This would allow an attacker to redirect user input to an untrusted site or hijack a user session.
An integer overflow vunlerability in nginx range filter module in ngxhttprangeparse() function was found, potentially resulting in memory disclosure when used with 3rd party modules. Issue can be triggered by specially crafted http range request resulting into leaking the content of the cache file header.
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.21 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, when running Ruby 1.9.3 or later, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to "serialized attributes."
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.2, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.8.2, deserializes untrusted YAML, which allows remote attackers to instantiate arbitrary Ruby classes and execute arbitrary code via a crafted REST API call.
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.
Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2016.4.5 and 2017.2.1 did not correctly authenticate users before returning labeled RBAC access tokens. This issue has been fixed in Puppet Enterprise 2016.4.5 and 2017.2.1. This only affects users with labeled tokens, which is not the default for tokens.
Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.3 and 2016.x before 2016.4.0, and Puppet Agent 1.3.6 through 1.7.0 allow remote attackers to bypass a host whitelist protection mechanism and execute arbitrary code on Puppet nodes via vectors related to command validation, aka "Puppet Execution Protocol (PXP) Command Whitelist Validation Vulnerability."
Puppet before 2.6.18, 2.7.x before 2.7.21, and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, and Puppet Enterprise before 1.2.7 and 2.7.x before 2.7.2, when listening for incoming connections is enabled and allowing access to the "run" REST endpoint is allowed, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request.
The dashboard report in Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary YAML code via a crafted report-specific type.
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."
Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.18 and Puppet Enterprise 1.2.x before 1.2.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the puppet master, or an agent with puppet kick enabled, via a crafted request for a report.
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.
A flaw was discovered in Puppet Agent where the agent may silently ignore Augeas settings or may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service condition prior to the first 'pluginsync'.
The console in Puppet Enterprise 3.7.x, 3.8.x, and 2015.2.x does not set the secure flag for the JSESSIONID cookie in an HTTPS session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to capture this cookie by intercepting its transmission within an HTTP session.

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 Enterprise before 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to (1) conduct clickjacking attacks via unspecified vectors related to the console, and (2) conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unspecified vectors related to "live management."
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the console in Puppet Enterprise before 2015.2.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the string parameter, related to Login Redirect.
Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 and 2.7.x before 2.7.13, and Puppet Enterprise (PE) Users 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 allows remote authenticated users with agent SSL keys and file-creation permissions on the puppet master to execute arbitrary commands by creating a file whose full pathname contains shell metacharacters, then performing a filebucket request.
