Description Kurt Seifried 2015-09-11 17:04:18 UTC 
Dominic Cleal of the Red Hat Satellite Team reports:

Reports (from tools such as Puppet) are stored in Foreman and associated
to the host they came from. Users can be granted permissions to view
and/or destroy reports, and also separate permissions to view certain
hosts. The UI and API only list reports where the user has permission
to view both reports and the host it was from.

The security issue is that both the show and destroy actions for viewing
and deleting individual reports do not limit access to the hosts that
the user has permission to view. A user with permission to view or
destroy reports can do so for any host if they know the ID, or can
easily view the last report for a given host.
