CVE-2026-107193 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-12

Foreman is an infrastructure management platform that uses permission filters to control who can access which features and data. A flaw allows a low-privileged administrator who can delete filters for their role to delete filters belonging to other roles, causing those roles to lose access permissions they previously had. An attacker with filter deletion rights can modify access control across the platform without proper authorization.

## Technical details

The Foreman API loads permission filters by identifier without applying the caller's permission search limits, allowing bypass of authorization checks. A low-privileged user holding a search-limited delete permission (e.g., for a single role) can delete filter records on unlocked roles outside their permitted scope. This results in horizontal privilege escalation and unauthorized modification of role-based access control.
