CVE-2019-10694: Puppet Enterprise

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The express install, which is the suggested way to install Puppet Enterprise, gives the user a URL at the end of the install to set the admin password. If they do not use that URL, there is an overlooked default password for the admin user. This was resolved in Puppet Enterprise 2019.0.3 and 2018.1.9.

Affected products

• Puppet Puppet Enterprise: from 2018.1.0, before 2018.1.9 (fixed in 2018.1.9); from 2019.0, before 2019.0.3 (fixed in 2019.0.3)
