CVE-2026-107193 Red Hat CVE debrief
A flaw in Foreman's permission filters allows a low-privileged attacker to delete filters for other roles, potentially impacting access control in Red Hat Satellite 6 deployments. This could lead to unauthorized access or changes in access permissions. The issue arises from the API loading a filter by its identifier without applying the search limit on the caller's permission, allowing an attacker who can delete filters for one role to delete filters belonging to other unlocked roles. Those roles then lose the access the deleted filters had granted.

Who should care
Red Hat Satellite 6 administrators and security teams responsible for Foreman deployments should assess exposure and verify permissions to prevent unauthorized access. This includes reviewing and updating filter configurations to ensure proper access control and monitoring for potential misuse. Additionally, teams should consider the operational impacts of this flaw on their specific deployments and take steps to mitigate potential risks.
Why it matters
A flaw in Foreman's permission filters allows a low-privileged attacker to delete filters for other roles, potentially impacting access control in Red Hat Satellite 6 deployments.
- Verify permissions and access controls for Foreman roles to prevent unauthorized access
- Review and update filter configurations to ensure proper access control
- Assess exposure in Red Hat Satellite 6 deployments to determine potential impact
Technical summary
The Foreman package has a flaw in its permission filters, allowing a low-privileged network attacker or user to delete filters belonging to other unlocked roles. This could potentially impact access control in Red Hat Satellite 6 deployments. The issue arises from the API's failure to apply search limits on the caller's permission when loading a filter by its identifier. An attacker who can delete filters for one role could delete filters for other roles, causing them to lose granted access. The flaw highlights the importance of verifying permissions and access controls for Foreman roles.
Defensive priority
Medium priority for Red Hat Satellite 6 administrators to assess exposure and verify permissions.
Recommended defensive actions
- Assess exposure in Red Hat Satellite 6 deployments
- Verify permissions and access controls for Foreman roles
- Review and update filter configurations to prevent unauthorized access
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
- Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance
- Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
