Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2019.0.3 Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2018.1.9

Description The express install of Puppet Enterprise provides a URL to set the admin password at the end of the installation. However, if this URL is not used, a default password for the admin user is overlooked. This issue was resolved in versions 2019.0.3 and 2018.1.9.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2019.0.3, update to version 2019.0.3 or later to resolve the issue. For versions prior to 2018.1.9, update to version 2018.1.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider changing the default admin password manually until a patch is applied.
