CVE-2026-107445: Red Hat Satellite Katello Flatpak API authorization bypass

CVE-2026-107445 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-10-08

Katello, the content management component of Red Hat Satellite, contains a flaw in its Flatpak Remote Repositories API that fails to properly restrict access by organization. An authenticated user from one organization can access or mirror flatpak remote repositories belonging to another organization, potentially exposing repository information and stored credentials. This could allow an attacker to create malicious repositories or access sensitive data across organizational boundaries.

Technologies: Red Hat Satellite. Vendors: Red Hat.

Technical details

The Flatpak Remote Repositories API uses an unscoped lookup in the show and mirror actions instead of the properly scoped lookup used elsewhere, allowing authenticated users to resolve records across organization boundaries. An attacker with the view_flatpak_remotes permission in one organization can access another organization's flatpak remote data, including stored credentials, and potentially create repositories configured with a different organization's remote registry URL. A fix exists but has been deferred because the CVSS score (5.4) is below Red Hat's 7.0 threshold for moderate-severity vulnerabilities.
