Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 or 2.7.x before 2.7.13 or Puppet Enterprise 2.5.0 and is prone to symlink attack. A flaw is present in the applications, which fail to properly handle REST requests for a file from a remote filebucket. Successful exploitation allows wttackers ith an authorized SSL key and certain permissions on the puppet master to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack in conjunction with a crafted REST request for a file in a filebucket.
