Puppet Enterprise Installation Process Local CA Key Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 87472

Language:

Synopsis

A web application on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Puppet Enterprise application installed on the remote host is version 3.8.x prior to 3.8.3 or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to the generated CA key being left in a world-readable state during initial installation and configuration. A local attacker can exploit this to gain access to CA key information.

Solution

Upgrade to Puppet Enterprise version 3.8.3 / 4.2.3 or later. Note that version 4.2.3 is also known as Puppet Enterprise 2015.2.3
