Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-1986 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Puppet Puppet Enterprise. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1986/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1986/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-1986","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1986/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-1986","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-1986","GHSA-2crf-gcjf-2wmp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Puppet configuration management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can read arbitrary files on the Puppet master via a symlink attack in filebucket requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"puppet","vendor":"puppet"},{"product":"puppet_enterprise","vendor":"puppet"},{"product":"puppet","vendor":"puppetlabs"},{"product":"puppet_enterprise_users","vendor":"puppetlabs"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 and 2.7.x before 2.7.13, and Puppet Enterprise (PE) Users 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 allows remote authenticated users with an authorized SSL key and certain permissions on the puppet master to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack in conjunction with a crafted REST request for a file in a filebucket.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1986","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"puppet:puppet_enterprise","products":["puppet:puppet_enterprise"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":16,"next":{"headline":"Puppet Denial of Service and Arbitrary File Write","id":"CVE-2012-1987"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1985"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-05-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Puppet Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2016-2785","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Puppet DB","id":"CVE-2021-27021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Puppet Enterprise and Puppet Agent","id":"CVE-2018-6513","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Puppet Agent","id":"CVE-2018-6514","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in Puppet Agent","id":"CVE-2018-6515","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-11"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Puppet Improper Input Validation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2013-1655","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-03-20"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Puppet Privilege Escallation","id":"CVE-2012-1053","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can read arbitrary files on the Puppet master via a symlink attack in filebucket requests.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1986/"}
