CVE-2026-107443: Foreman API missing authorization in host provisioning template render

CVE-2026-107443 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.7 · Published 2026-11-12

Foreman is an infrastructure management platform that provisions and configures host systems. An authenticated user with minimal view-hosts permissions can retrieve rendered provisioning templates via the API, exposing sensitive data like host root passwords. This bypasses an incomplete earlier security fix that only hardened the web UI.

How to fix

Until a fix is deployed, remove view_hosts from untrusted users or block/restrict access to GET /api/v2/hosts/:id/template/:kind. Rotate host root credentials if Viewer-role users may have accessed this endpoint.</anigation> <parameter name="timeline">[{"kind": "disclosed", "at": "2026-11-12"}]

Technical details

A missing authorization check in the API host-template render endpoint (GET /api/v2/hosts/:id/template/:kind) allows view_hosts-privileged users to access rendered provisioning template content that should be restricted to administrators. The vulnerability results from an incomplete fix to CVE-2026-96659, which hardened the web UI preview path but left the API path inadequately authorized. Attackers can retrieve credentials and other secrets embedded in rendered host provisioning output without elevated privileges.
