Puppet Enterprise before 3.1.0 does not properly restrict the number of authentication attempts by a console account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a brute-force attack.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
