NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream puppet package and not the puppet package as distributed by Debian.
Versions of Puppet Agent prior to 1.6.0 included a version of the Puppet Execution Protocol (PXP) agent that passed environment variables through to Puppet runs. This could allow unauthorized code to be loaded. This bug was first introduced in Puppet Agent 1.3.0.
