      Agent 2017-05-03
    • Release Notes:
      Security Fix
    • Release Notes Summary:
      An authenticated agent could make a catalog request with facts encoded in YAML. The puppetmaster/server did not properly validate and reject the request, resulting in the server loading arbitrary objects, which could lead to remote code execution.
    • QA Risk Assessment:
      Automate
    • QA Risk Assessment Reason:
      Security risk, but easily tested

      Description

      The compiler will extract facts from the POST, and will deserialize using whatever format the user specifies. As a result, an attacker with a valid agent cert can cause the master to execute YAML.load on user specified input.
