Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Katello where the Content View History API does not properly enforce authorization when accessing a Content View specified by the user. An authenticated user with permission to view Content Views in one organization may be able to access the lifecycle history of a Content View belonging to another organization by supplying its identifier to the affected API endpoint. This can result in unauthorized disclosure of Content View lifecycle information, including publication and promotion events, associated users, and timestamps.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-25 10:53:01 UTC 
An authorization bypass in Katello's Content View History API. The ContentViewHistoriesController resolves the requested Content View using an unrestricted ContentView.find(params[:content_view_id]) lookup instead of the authorization-aware ContentView.readable scope. As a result, an authenticated user with view_content_views permission for one organization may be able to supply the ID of a Content View belonging to another organization and retrieve its lifecycle history. The reported impact is limited to unauthorized disclosure of Content View lifecycle metadata, including publication and promotion events, associated users, and timestamps.
