An attacker with access to the foreman log file would be able to view passwords for provisioned systems in the log file, allowing them to access those systems.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
