application running on the remote host is version 2015.x or 2016.x

vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-site redirection vulnerability exists within the
    /auth/login script due to improper validation of
    user-supplied input to the 'redirect' parameter in a GET
    request. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this issue, by convincing a user to follow a specially
    crafted link, to redirect the user to a website of the
    attacker's own choosing, which can then be used to
    conduct further attacks. Note that this vulnerability
    was thought to have been resolved by the fix for
    CVE-2015-6501, but the fix was incomplete. Puppet
    Enterprise 2016.4.0 includes a fix for this
    vulnerability. (CVE-2015-5715)

  - A flaw exists in the Puppet Enterprise Console due to
    unsafe string processing that allows an authenticated,
    remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.");
