Directory traversal vulnerability in Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.10 and 2.7.x before 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to write X.509 Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to arbitrary locations via (1) a double-encoded key parameter in the URI in 2.7.x, (2) the CN in the Subject of a CSR in 2.6 and 0.25.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Puppet server versions allowed a remote attacker to make certificate-signing request data land outside its intended location. In a configuration-management system, that is serious because Puppet often has operational trust and privileged file access. The bundle names fixed Puppet 2.6.10 and 2.7.4 releases; no active exploitation evidence is provided. Exposure is most likely where legacy Puppet 0.25, 2.6.x, or 2.7.x infrastructure remains reachable, especially Puppet master or CA services. Modern supported Puppet deployments are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Treat this as high priority only for environments with legacy Puppet infrastructure. If Puppet has been retired or upgraded beyond the named fixed versions, business urgency is low after verification. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Puppet 2.6.x to 2.6.10 or later.; Upgrade Puppet 2.7.x to 2.7.4 or later.; Apply relevant Debian, Ubuntu, or openSUSE vendor security updates..
