CVE-2021-27023 (https://puppet.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-27023):

A flaw was discovered in Puppet Agent and Puppet Server that may result in a leak of HTTP credentials when following HTTP redirects to a different host. This is similar to CVE-2018-1000007

CVE-2021-27025 (https://puppet.com/security/cve/cve-2021-27025):

A flaw was discovered in Puppet Agent where the agent may silently ignore Augeas settings or may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service condition prior to the first 'pluginsync'.

(CCing graaff@ because it looks like CVE-2021-27025 affects Puppet 5 too?)

Yes, looks like Puppet 5 is also affected, with no fixes from upstream. Backporting looks tricky, also because the security fix is part of a larger squashed merge commit so it's hard to tell what is actually needed.
