The host is installed with Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.14 or 2.7.x before 2.7.11 and is prone to elevation of privilege vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which is caused by the improper dropping of group permissions when a process is forked. Successful exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges.
