CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4959

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 uses HTTP responses that contain sensitive information without the "no-cache" setting, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information such as (1) host name, (2) MAC address, and (3) SSH keys via the web browser cache.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU42648

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4961

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 includes version information for the Apache and Phusion Passenger products in its HTTP response headers, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4962

CWE-ID: CWE-255 - Credentials Management

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate or delete data.

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4964

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
