CVE-2017-2292
CRITICAL9.0EPSS 1.8%Published: 6/30/2017Modified: 4/28/2026
Also known as:DEBIAN-CVE-2017-2292
Description
Versions of MCollective prior to 2.10.4 deserialized YAML from agents without calling safe_load, allowing the potential for arbitrary code execution on the server. The fix for this is to call YAML.safe_load on input. This has been tested in all Puppet-supplied MCollective plugins, but there is a chance that third-party plugins could rely on this insecure behavior.
