An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-5255 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-2023-5255/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5255/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5255","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5255/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5255","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q3vx-5wxp-g986","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-5255"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Puppet Enterprise","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service by preventing the revocation of auto-renewed certificates in Puppet Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"puppet","cpe":[{"product":"puppet_enterprise","vendor":"puppet"},{"product":"puppet_server","vendor":"puppet"}],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-404","name":"Improper Resource Shutdown or Release"}],"description":"For certificates that utilize the auto-renew feature in Puppet Server, a flaw exists which prevents the certificates from being revoked.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Denial of Service for Revocation of Auto Renewed Certificates","id":"CVE-2023-5255","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"puppet:puppet_enterprise","products":["puppet:puppet_enterprise"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Drupal core - Critical - Cache poisoning - SA-CORE-2023-006","id":"CVE-2023-5256"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"AI ChatBot \u003c= 4.8.9 - Unauthenticated Sensitive Information Exposure via qcld_wb_chatbot_check_user","id":"CVE-2023-5254"},"products":["Puppet Enterprise"],"published":"2023-10-03","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-19","vendors":["Puppet"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service by preventing the revocation of auto-renewed certificates in Puppet Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5255/"}
