The master external node classification script in Puppet Enterprise before 3.2.0 does not verify the identity of consoles, which allows remote attackers to create arbitrary classifications on the master by spoofing a console.

Weakness

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