8.8 HIGH

Published 2026-10-01 · Updated 2026-10-07

AI risk analysis

Summary
The flaw allows command injection when the effective_user property is marked as overridable, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the execution user.
Exploitability
Exploitation is moderately hard as it requires an attacker to have permissions to execute job templates, but the lack of version-specific details makes it challenging to assess exact effort.
Blast radius
If exploited, the vulnerability could lead to full compromise of the target infrastructure with the privileges of the execution user, potentially affecting multiple systems and services.
Detection
No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation
Upgrade to rubygem-foreman_remote_execution 2.590 or later.

NVD description

A flaw was found in rubygem-foreman_remote_execution. A command injection vulnerability exists in the Red Hat Satellite API (/api/v2/job_invocations). When a job template has the effective_user property marked as overridable: true, the application fails to properly sanitize the effective_user input provided during the API request. The exploitation does not rely on the content or logic of the Job Template/playbook itself; rather, the injection occurs during the instantiation of the job execution environment by the Satellite server. An attacker with permissions to execute job templates can inject arbitrary shell commands into this parameter, which are executed on the target infrastructure with the privileges of the execution user.
