CVSS 3 Base Score:
4.2

Posted On:

Assessed Risk Level:
Medium

The Puppet Enterprise Console does not properly validate the string parameter used to set the URL target for the next page transition. This can be leveraged to create believable phishing attacks and potentially harvest the victim's console credentials. This was thought to be resolved with the fix for CVE-2015-6501, but the fix was incomplete. Puppet Enterprise 2016.4.0 includes a fix for this vulnerability.
