Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A flaw was found in Foreman/Red Hat Satellite. Improper file permissions allow low-privileged OS users to monitor and access temporary files under /var/tmp, exposing sensitive command outputs, such as /etc/shadow. This issue can lead to information disclosure and privilege escalation if exploited effectively.
