Medium (6.5) in puppet mcollective-sshkey-security. EPSS 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The mcollective-sshkey-security plugin before 0.5.1 for Puppet uses a server-specified identifier as part of a path where a file is written. A compromised server could use this to write a file to an arbitrary location on the client with the filename appended with the string "_pub.pem".
