Unspecified vulnerability in Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.23 and 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and Puppet Enterprise 2.8.x before 2.8.3 and 3.0.x before 3.0.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby programs from the master via the resource_type service. NOTE: this vulnerability can only be exploited utilizing unspecified "local file system access" to the Puppet Master.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects old Puppet and Puppet Enterprise masters. If an attacker also has unspecified local file system access to the Puppet Master, they may be able to make the master run arbitrary Ruby programs. The business risk is highest where legacy Puppet masters still manage production systems. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running the named legacy Puppet or Puppet Enterprise master versions. The required local file system access condition narrows practical risk, but Puppet masters are high-value control points for managed infrastructure. Treat as high priority only if legacy Puppet masters are still present. The issue can affect a central infrastructure automation system, but the source bundle does not support active exploitation and notes an additional local file system access requirement. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Puppet 2.7.x to 2.7.23 or later.; Upgrade Puppet 3.2.x to 3.2.4 or later.; Upgrade Puppet Enterprise 2.8.x to 2.8.3 or later..
