Local information disclosure via permissive job-output files
Published Mar 15, 2025 · Updated Nov 21, 2025
Information disclosure in Foreman on Red Hat Satellite 6.16 and 6.17 allows local users to read temporary job output files. During job execution, Foreman creates files under /var/tmp with permissions that let low-privileged OS accounts monitor and read command output before deletion. Local low-privileged access is required; exposed output can contain credentials or configuration data, but the flaw does not directly elevate privileges.
