Description
A flaw was found in Foreman. The template revision endpoint does not enforce object-level authorization when retrieving an audited template revision. An authenticated, low privileged user with a template-related permission, such as view_ptables, can obtain historical template contents belonging to another organization or location by supplying the corresponding audit ID. This can result in unauthorized disclosure of historical template contents, which may contain sensitive configuration information, credentials, or other secrets. The REST API revision endpoints correctly restrict this lookup.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated user with limited template permissions, such as view_ptables, can request an audited template revision by providing an audit ID. Because the endpoint does not enforce object‑level authorization, the user receives historical template contents that belong to a different organization or location. These contents may include sensitive configuration data, credentials, or other secrets, leading to an unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.

Affected Systems

Red Hat Satellite 6.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a moderate overall severity. The EPSS score is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not a known actively exploited weakness in the wild. An attacker must be authenticated and possess a template‑related permission to exploit the issue, but once authenticated, the attacker can retrieve data from any tenant without additional privileges. The combination of a moderate CVSS score and the need for only lenient permissions results in a non‑low but reasonable risk for environments where tenant isolation is critical.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Red Hat is not aware of a practical temporary workaround that fully mitigates this issue or meets Red Hat Product Security's standards for usability, deployment, applicability, or stability. Customers are advised to apply the relevant security updates when they become available.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Red Hat Satellite 6 to the latest patched release once the vendor publishes the update.
  • Review and restrict template‑related permissions (e.g., view_ptables) so that only trusted roles can access audited revisions.
  • Audit API usage logs for unexpected revision lookups and consider network segmentation or tenant isolation to limit cross‑tenant visibility.
