This can be exploited to perform certain unspecified actions if a logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site. 2) An error when loading YAML strings passed via the Puppet management interface can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 3) The security issue is caused due to the application using PYTHON_EGG_CACHE from an insecure location and can be exploited to gain additional privileges by placing malicious python eggs in certain directories. SOLUTION: Fixed in the GIT repository.
