Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2016.4.5 Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2017.2.1

Description The issue is related to the handling of MCollective server private keys in Puppet Enterprise. In affected versions, these keys were not marked as sensitive, which could lead to their values being logged and stored in PuppetDB. This was resolved by utilizing the sensitive data type, a feature introduced in Puppet 4.6, to prevent such logging and storage.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2016.4.5, update to version 2016.4.5 or later. For versions prior to 2017.2.1, update to version 2017.2.1 or later.
