[openstack-dev] [puppet] [tc] applying for vulnerability:managed tag

Some questions:

What would constitute a vulnerability for openstack-puppet since we're
mainly consuming the upstream code?

Would having an insecure default value on a parameter meet the criteria?
What if the upstream default is also bad?

We certainly also have some examples that should never be used in
production.
