Description

A flaw was found in Foreman. The foreman-tail utility is vulnerable to OS command injection due to the unsafe use of the eval command. The script takes user-supplied arguments and incorporates them directly into a string that is then executed by eval to expand file paths. Because the input is not sanitized or quoted, a local attacker can inject shell metacharacters (e.g., ;, &, |) to execute arbitrary system commands.

Affected configurations

• redhat satellite (>= 6.16 < 6.16.4) • redhat satellite (>= 6.17 < 6.17.12) • redhat satellite (>= 6.19 < 6.19.5) • theforeman foreman (>= 1.5.0 <= 3.19.1) • theforeman foreman 5.0.0 • redhat satellite (>= 6.18 < 6.18.10) • redhat satellite 6.0
