CVE-2022-2394Network attack vector

Sensitive parameter disclosure via Orchestrator submission

Published Jul 19, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Information disclosure in Puppet Bolt before 3.24.0 allows remote authenticated users to expose sensitive parameters through PCP plan runs. The PCP plan submission path sends raw Sensitive parameter values to Puppet Enterprise Orchestrator, where they are stored and can appear in job results or logs. Exploitation requires an authenticated Puppet Enterprise connection and a plan run containing a Sensitive parameter; confidentiality is the only reported impact.
