Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4965)
CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
Puppet Enterprise before 3.1.0 does not properly restrict the number of authentication attempts by a console account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a brute-force attack.
