CVE-2026-5135Foreman: foreman: unauthorized modification of host configurations via broken access control

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8 and 4 other products. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

A flaw was found in Foreman. This broken access control vulnerability allows an authenticated user with host-edit permissions to retarget an existing lookup value override to a different host. This is achieved by modifying the match field through nested host attributes, effectively bypassing authorisation checks. The consequence is the potential for unauthorised modification of managed host configurations across different organisational and location boundaries.
