CVE-2021-3589

First published: Tue Jun 08 2021(Updated: )

An attacker with elevated privileges can utilize Ansible functions to carry out actions as the Foreman-proxy user on the system. The prerequisite for this is that the hosts must have already been added to Foreman, and the attacker must have access to one of these hosts. If the attacker already has access to the system, they are deemed trustworthy with a high level of privilege.
