Descriptions

Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.3 and 2016.x before 2016.4.0, and Puppet Agent 1.3.6 through 1.7.0 allow remote attackers to bypass a host whitelist protection mechanism and execute arbitrary code on Puppet nodes via vectors related to command validation, aka "Puppet Execution Protocol (PXP) Command Whitelist Validation Vulnerability."

Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.3 y 2016.x en versiones anteriores a la 2016.4.0 y Puppet Agent 1.3.6 hasta la versión 1.7.0 permite que atacantes remotos omitan un mecanismo de protección de listas blancas de host y ejecutar código arbitrario en nodos Puppet mediante vectores relacionados con la validación de comandos. Esto también se conoce como "Puppet Execution Protocol (PXP) Command Whitelist Validation Vulnerability".
