CVE-2026-12423 | BDVDB-2026-381685 Detail
Red HatRed Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8
Description#
A flaw was found in Foreman. The Red Hat Satellite /unattended/provision API endpoint is vulnerable to an authentication bypass due to a semantic logic flaw in host_verifier.rb. The application verifies the database state of a provisioning token rather than its actual presence in the incoming HTTP request. Because a host actively undergoing provisioning has an unexpired token in the database, the server's valid_host_token? method evaluates to true, granting access to the kickstart template even if the requester provides no token at all in the URL.
Impact#
Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact none, availability impact none. Attack vector: network.
Weaknesses#
- CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function
