In previous versions of Puppet Agent it was possible for the agent to retrieve facts from an environment that it was not classified to retrieve from. This was resolved in Puppet Agent 5.3.4, included in Puppet Enterprise 2017.3.4

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
