Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-5158 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-2012-5158/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5158/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5158","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5158/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5158","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ggqp-jmq3-2qm6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Puppet Enterprise","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can retain access after session secret changes due to improper session invalidation in Puppet Enterprise.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"puppet_enterprise","vendor":"puppet"},{"product":"puppet","vendor":"puppetlabs"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Puppet Enterprise (PE) before 2.6.1 does not properly invalidate sessions when the session secret has changed, which allows remote authenticated users to retain access via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5158","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"puppet:puppet_enterprise","products":["puppet:puppet_enterprise"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5159"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5157"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-03-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2023-2530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2019-10694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2018-11749","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Other in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2021-27020","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5686","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in Puppet Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-5716","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-11"}],"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 retain access after session secret changes due to improper session invalidation in Puppet Enterprise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5158/"}
