The (1) template and (2) inline_template 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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets an authenticated Puppet user cause the Puppet master to run arbitrary code through a crafted catalog request. For an organization still running the affected 2013-era versions, compromise of the configuration-management server could cascade into managed infrastructure risk. Exposure is most likely in legacy Puppet master or Puppet Enterprise deployments that still allow authenticated nodes or users to request catalogs. The source bundle does not identify specific operating-system package builds beyond linked vendor advisories. Treat this as high priority only where legacy Puppet infrastructure remains. Puppet masters can influence many systems, so unresolved exposure may create broad operational risk even though the bundle does not show active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Puppet to 2.6.18, 2.7.21, 3.1.1, or later as applicable.; Upgrade Puppet Enterprise to 1.2.7, 2.7.2, or later as applicable.; Review Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, or openSUSE package advisories for distribution-specific fixes..
