Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Puppet versions prior to 2.6.17 Puppet versions 2.7.x prior to 2.7.18 Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2.5.2

Description A directory traversal issue allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files on the puppet master server. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in a node name when Delete is enabled in auth.conf. The issue is related to the lib/puppet/reports/store.rb file.

Recommendations For Puppet versions prior to 2.6.17, update to version 2.6.17 or later. For Puppet versions 2.7.x prior to 2.7.18, update to version 2.7.18 or later. For Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2.5.2, update to version 2.5.2 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Delete option in auth.conf until a patch is available.
