Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affected Puppet Enterprise before 2.7.1. An authenticated remote user with root access on a managed node could access private SSL keys tied to the master role, exposing secrets and enabling privilege escalation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Puppet Enterprise deployments before 2.7.1 using the affected pe_mcollective module and master-role configuration. The source bundle does not identify CPEs or detailed version ranges beyond “before 2.7.1.” Prioritize if any legacy Puppet Enterprise before 2.7.1 remains in production. The risk is not broad internet exploitation, but compromise of Puppet trust material can affect many managed systems. Mitigation focus: Identify any Puppet Enterprise installations older than 2.7.1.; Consult the Puppet Labs advisory for the official fix path.; Upgrade affected Puppet Enterprise deployments to 2.7.1 or a supported later release..
