The host is installed with Puppet Agent 1.10.x before 1.10.13, 5.3.x before 5.3.7 or 5.5.x before 5.5.2 and is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle a crafted configuration file. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to get pxp-agent to load arbitrary code with privilege escalation.
