CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.21 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, and Puppet Enterprise 2.7.x before 2.7.2, does not properly negotiate the SSL protocol between client and master, which allows remote attackers to conduct SSLv2 downgrade attacks against SSLv3 sessions via unspecified vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-1654 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
