CVE-2017-2294
Versions of Puppet Enterprise prior to 2016.4.5 or 2017.2.1 failed to mark MCollective server private keys as sensitive (a feature added in Puppet 4.6), so key values could be logged and stored in PuppetDB.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Versions of Puppet Enterprise prior to 2016.4.5 or 2017.2.1 failed to mark MCollective server private keys as sensitive (a feature added in Puppet 4.6), so key values could be logged and stored in PuppetDB. These releases use the sensitive data type to ensure this won't happen anymore.
