CVE-2026-115731
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
Affected Puppet Enterprise releases contain unsafe report-data deserialization in Puppet Server. An attacker with a CA-signed agent certificate can execute code under the Puppet Server service account; permissive certificate autosigning may let an unauthenticated network attacker obtain the required certificate.
mitigation
Upgrade Puppet Enterprise to 2023.8.13, 2025.12.1, or 2026.0.1, as appropriate for the deployed release line. Disable or tightly restrict certificate autosigning until all systems are updated.
fixed in 2023.8.13, 2025.12.1, 2026.0.1
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
