Puppet Enterprise before 3.1.0 does not properly restrict the number of authentication attempts by a console account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a brute-force attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Puppet Enterprise consoles did not sufficiently limit repeated login attempts. That weakness makes password guessing easier against console accounts. The business risk is unauthorized console access in environments still running Puppet Enterprise before 3.1.0, especially if the console is broadly reachable or accounts use weak passwords. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Puppet Enterprise deployments before 3.1.0 with the console enabled and reachable by remote users. Internet-facing consoles, shared admin accounts, and weak password practices increase practical risk. Prioritize if Puppet Enterprise is still used in legacy infrastructure. This is not KEV-listed, but management-console compromise can affect infrastructure control. Treat exposed pre-3.1.0 consoles as remediation candidates. Mitigation focus: Inventory Puppet Enterprise console versions and identify any pre-3.1.0 deployments.; Upgrade affected Puppet Enterprise systems to 3.1.0 or later per vendor guidance.; Restrict console access to trusted networks or VPN paths..
