Updated

Foreman 1.4.0 before 1.5.0 does not properly restrict access to provisioning template previews, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the hostname parameter, related to "spoof."

Other sources

Ohad Levy of Red Hat reports:

since 1e0fd283 it is possible to override spoof by providing a hostname parameters.

this would allow to retrieve any template of any host bypassing authentication.
