Summary
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.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this flaw as having a Moderate impact. This vulnerability affects Foreman's template revision handling.
The vulnerability permits an authenticated, low-privileged user with limited template permissions to bypass organization and location authorization boundaries and access historical template revisions outside their authorized scope.
This issue requires network access to the Foreman web interface and a valid account with a template-related permission such as view_ptables. No special attack conditions and no user interaction are required.
The confidentiality impact is High because a successful request returns the full historical template body, which can include credentials or other secrets.
Affected product named by the advisory: Red Hat Satellite 6.
