A flaw was found in foreman-installer when puppet-candlepin is invoked cpdb with the --password parameter. This issue leaks the password in the process list and allows an attacker to take advantage and obtain the password.
A command injection flaw was found in the "Host Init Config" template in the Foreman application via the "Install Packages" field on the "Register Host" page. This flaw allows an attacker with the necessary privileges to inject arbitrary commands into the configuration, potentially allowing unauthorized command execution during host registration. Although this issue requires user interaction to execute injected commands, it poses a significant risk if an unsuspecting user runs the generated registration script.
HTTP requests for URLs with trailing newlines could bypass an upstream access control based on URL paths.
In Foreman it was discovered that the delete compute resource operation, when executed from the Foreman API, leads to the disclosure of the plaintext password or token for the affected compute resource. A malicious user with the "deletecomputeresource" permission can use this flaw to take control over compute resources managed by foreman. Versions before 1.20.3, 1.21.1, 1.22.0 are vulnerable.
An improper access control flaw was found in Candlepin. An attacker can create data scoped under another customer/tenant, which can result in loss of confidentiality and availability for the affected customer/tenant.
An XML eXternal Entity (XXE) flaw was found in Nokogiri, a Ruby gem for parsing HTML, XML, and SAX. Using external XML entities, a remote attacker could specify a URL in a specially crafted XML that, when parsed, would cause a connection to that URL to be opened.
A patch shipped with the 1.5.4 release of Nokogiri provided a "nonet" option to disable external connections. However, local file URLs could still be used to exploit this flaw. The 1.6.4 release of Nokogiri fixed this issue by using libxml2 2.9.0.

Katello has multiple XSS issues in various entities
Eric Helms of Red Hat reports:
Users can access resources in other organizations via the API if they can guess the name of the resource as access restrictions are not properly enforced.
Jan Hutař of Red Hat reports:
MongoDB on Satellite 6 is configured without a password by default, this allows local users to connect to MongoDB and cause information to be deleted.
In Red Hat Satellite, the MongoDB database can be accessed by any malicious local user of the Satellite server and pulpdatabase content can be modified or deleted. Embedded MongoDB was introduced in Satellite 6.0 onward therefore, all the current Satellite active versions are affected by the flaw.
rubygem-hammercliforeman: File /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman.yml world readable
foreman-debug before version 1.15.0 is vulnerable to a flaw in foreman-debug's logging. An attacker with access to the foreman log file would be able to view passwords, allowing them to access those systems.
Jan Hutař of Red Hat reports:
When registering and activating a new system with Satellite 6 if the new systems hostname is then reset to the hostname of a previously registered system the previously registered system will lose access to updates including security updates.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the katello component of Satellite. An attacker with privilege to create/edit organizations and locations is able to execute a XSS attacks against other users through the Subscriptions or the Red Hat Repositories wizards. This can possibly lead to malicious code execution and extraction of the anti-CSRF token of higher privileged users. Versions before 3.9.0 are vulnerable.
An improper authorization flaw was found in the Smart Class feature of Foreman. An attacker can use it to change configuration of any host registered in Red Hat Satellite, independent of the organization the host belongs to. This flaw affects all Red Hat Satellite 6 versions.
A credential leak vulnerability was found in Red Hat Satellite. This flaw exposes the compute resources credentials through VMs that are running on these resources in Satellite.
A flaw was found in Red Hat Satellite, which allows a privileged attacker to read OMAPI secrets through the ISC DHCP of Smart-Proxy. This flaw allows an attacker to gain control of DHCP records from the network. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
A flaw was found in Red Hat Satellite 6 which allows privileged attacker to read cache files. These cache credentials could help attacker to gain complete control of the Satellite instance.
A flaw was found in Red Hat Satellite. The BMC interface exposes the password through the API to an authenticated local attacker with viewhosts permission. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
A server side remote code execution vulnerability was found in Foreman project. A authenticated attacker could use Sendmail configuration options to overwrite the defaults and perform command injection. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity and availability of system. Fixed releases are 2.4.1, 2.5.1, 3.0.0.
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.
A credential leak vulnerability was found in Foreman through Azure Compute Profile. This flaw exposes the compute profile credentials to the all authenticated users with "viewcomputeprofiles" permission.
