Puppet Core 8.13.1 Release Announcement

[Puppet Product Updates]

We’re pleased to announce the release of Puppet Core 8.13.1.

 

This release addresses a critical compatibility issue introduced in earlier versions that affected DSC providers used by Security Compliance Enforcement for Windows.

 

What's Fixed

Puppet Core 8.12.0 and 8.13.0 included the puppet-resource_api gem version 2.0. While this update introduced some improvements, it also inadvertently broke support for auto-generated DSC providers, specifically impacting the dsc_securityoption type used to enforce CIS controls in Security Compliance Enforcement for Windows.

 

To resolve this, Puppet Core 8.13.1 reverts to puppet-resource_api 1.9.0, restoring expected behaviour and compatibility.

 

Recommended Action

If you're using Security Compliance Enforcement for Windows or rely on DSC providers, we strongly recommend upgrading to Puppet Core 8.13.1 as soon as possible to restore functionality.

 

Best regards,

 

The Puppet Core Team
