Description Adam Saleh 2013-10-23 12:22:39 UTC

Description of problem:

When trying to create user with username "foo foo" it gets created but then this exception appears.

Failed to perform additional action KatelloForemanEngine::Actions::UserCreate: 422 Unprocessable Entity

Login in as this user works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.4.6-40.el6sat


Expected results:
User \w whitespace shouldn't be allowed to be created

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-23 12:45:43 UTC

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Comment 3 Adam Saleh 2013-10-23 12:56:07 UTC

After aditional investigation I have encountered same behavior when trying to input usernames <a href=localhost>test</a>, or '';!--"<XSS>=&{()} 

The exception is

Failed to perform additional action KatelloForemanEngine::Actions::UserCreate: 500 Internal Server Error

Expected result:

User-creation in Sat6 should be compatible with Foreman.

Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2014-05-23 17:43:35 UTC

The following example all result in invalid users messages when attempting to create them:

'';!--"<XSS>=&{()}
<a href=localhost>test</a>
foo foo

Comment 5 Adam Saleh 2014-06-10 13:42:50 UTC

Tried in api, looks good.

Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2014-07-02 14:05:41 UTC

This was delivered with 6.0.3, which is the Satellite 6 Beta.
