Puppet Module Tool (PMT), as used 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, installs modules with weak permissions if those permissions were used when the modules were originally built, which might allow local users to read or modify those modules depending on the original permissions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Puppet Module Tool permissions flaw. Vulnerable Puppet versions can install modules using weak permissions inherited from how the module was originally built. On affected hosts, a local user might be able to read or modify installed Puppet modules. Exposure is most likely on legacy Puppet or Puppet Enterprise deployments that used PMT to install modules and have local users on the same systems. The bundle does not identify remote exposure. Treat as a legacy configuration-management hygiene issue. Prioritize remediation where Puppet systems are shared, multi-user, or still running the affected versions, because module modification could affect managed infrastructure behavior. 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..
