Overview

puppet is an automated configuration management tool. Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Access on the puppet master. If an attacker has a valid SSL certificate and private key, they could construct an HTTP GET request to return the contents of an arbitrary file on the puppet master, leading to information leakage.
