Authenticated password disclosure through plugin API response
Published Aug 26, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information disclosure in the Foreman Datacenter plugin allows local users with view_hosts permission to read passwords through the API. Red Hat identifies the API response as the disclosure point but has not published the affected endpoint or serialization logic that includes the plaintext password. The direct effect is credential disclosure; further access depends on the privileges associated with the exposed password.
