Doc Text:
A command injection flaw was found in the "Host Init Config" template in the Foreman application via the "Install Packages" field on the "Register Host" page. This flaw allows an attacker with the necessary privileges to inject arbitrary commands into the configuration, potentially allowing unauthorized command execution during host registration. Although this issue requires user interaction to execute injected commands, it poses a significant risk if an unsuspecting user runs the generated registration script.

Description Abhishek Raj 2024-08-12 10:57:20 UTC 
A command injection vulnerability was identified in Foreman, affecting the "Host Init Config" template. The issue arises when commands are injected through the "Install Packages" field on the "Register Host" page. An attacker with elevated privileges on the Foreman server could craft malicious commands, which would be executed when the host is registered. This could lead to unauthorized actions.
