Description Martin Prpič 2016-04-27 13:18:40 UTC 
The following flaw was found in Puppet:

Puppet Server 2.x and Ruby Puppet Master from Puppet 4.x did not correctly decode specific character combinations which could potentially allow for a host to access endpoints restricted by auth.conf rules.

This issue is fixed in Puppet Server 2.3.2, Puppet 4.4.2, and Puppet Agent 1.4.2.

Comment 6 Kurt Seifried 2016-06-07 01:03:38 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of Puppet as shipped with various Red Hat products as they did not include support Puppet 3.x (using Passenger 4.x).
